Overview

-l2tpns is half of a complete L2TP implementation. It supports only the -LNS side of the connection.

+l2tpns a complete L2TP implementation. It supports the LAC, LNS, PPPOE and DHCPv6 server.

-L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) is designed to allow any layer 2 -protocol (e.g. Ethernet, PPP) to be tunneled over an IP connection. l2tpns -implements PPP over L2TP only.
