-When l2tpns receives a STGTERM it will write out its current
-ip_address_pool, session and tunnel tables to disk prior to exiting to
-be re-loaded at startup. The validity of this data is obviously quite
-short and the intent is to allow an sessions to be retained over a

Sets the RADIUS servers used for both authentication and accounting.
Maximum number of host unreachable ICMP packets to send per second.

+<LI><B>packet_limit</B> (int><BR>
+Maximum number of packets of downstream traffic to be handled each

+0). Intended as a DoS prevention mechanism and not a general
+throttling control (packets are dropped, not queued).

Multicast cluster address (default: 239.192.13.13). See the section

The signals understood are:

-<LI>SIGHUP - Reload the config from disk and re-open log file<P></LI>
-<LI>SIGTERM / SIGINT - Shut down for a restart. This will dump the current

+<LI>SIGTERM / SIGINT - Shut down.</LI>
<LI>SIGQUIT - Shut down cleanly. This will send a disconnect message for
-every active session and tunnel before shutting down. This is a good idea
