• a32e0eec7   l2tp: introduce L2TPv3 IP encapsulation support for IPv6 ... Browse Code »

  L2TPv3 defines an IP encapsulation packet format where data is carried
  directly over IP (no UDP). The kernel already has support for L2TP IP
  encapsulation over IPv4 (l2tp_ip). This patch introduces support for
  L2TP IP encapsulation over IPv6.

  The implementation is derived from ipv6/raw and ipv4/l2tp_ip.

  This patch adds support for unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels over IPv6 using
  the netlink API. We already support unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels over
  IPv4. A patch to iproute2 to make use of this feature will be
  submitted separately.

• 309795f4b   l2tp: Add netlink control API for L2TP ... Browse Code »

  In L2TPv3, we need to create/delete/modify/query L2TP tunnel and
  session contexts. The number of parameters is significant. So let's
  use netlink. Userspace uses this API to control L2TP tunnel/session
  contexts in the kernel.

  The previous pppol2tp driver was managed using [gs]etsockopt(). This
  API is retained for backwards compatibility. Unlike L2TPv2 which
  carries only PPP frames, L2TPv3 can carry raw ethernet frames or other
  frame types and these do not always have an associated socket
  family. Therefore, we need a way to use L2TP sessions that doesn't
  require a socket type for each supported frame type. Hence netlink is
  used.

• 0d76751fa   l2tp: Add L2TPv3 IP encapsulation (no UDP) support ... Browse Code »

  This patch adds a new L2TPIP socket family and modifies the core to
  handle the case where there is no UDP header in the L2TP
  packet. L2TP/IP uses IP protocol 115. Since L2TP/UDP and L2TP/IP
  packets differ in layout, the datapath packet handling code needs
  changes too. Userspace uses an L2TPIP socket instead of a UDP socket
  when IP encapsulation is required.

  We can't use raw sockets for this because the semantics of raw sockets
  don't lend themselves to the socket-per-tunnel model - we need to
