It consists of +- a daemon, openl2tpd, handling the L2TP control protocol exchanges + for all tunnels and sessions +- a plugin for pppd to allow its PPP connections to run over L2TP + sessions +- a Linux kernel driver for efficient datapath (packaged separately). +- a command line application for management. + +All data packets are handled by the Linux kernel in order that the +datapath be as efficient as possible. The Linux PPP-over-L2TP kernel +driver (pppol2tp.o) must be loaded either dynamically as a kernel +module or linked in statically. + +See README.SLACKWARE for post-installation configuration notes. |
