Layer Two Tunneling Protocol
From RFC 2661 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2661.txt>.
L2TP facilitates the tunneling of packets across an
intervening network in a way that is as transparent as
possible to both end-users and applications.
L2TP is often used to tunnel PPP traffic over IP
tunnels. One IP tunnel may carry thousands of individual PPP
connections. L2TP is also used as a VPN protocol, popular
with home workers to connect to their offices.
The kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
(http://openl2tp.org/).
If you don't need L2TP, say N. To compile all L2TP code as
modules, choose M here.
