  	  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.

  	  L2TPv3 allows other protocols as well as PPP to be carried
  	  over L2TP tunnels. L2TPv3 is defined in RFC 3931
  	  <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3931.txt>.

  	  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.

  	  Layer Two Tunneling Protocol Version 3
  
  	  From RFC 3931 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3931.txt>.
  
  	  The Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) provides a dynamic
  	  mechanism for tunneling Layer 2 (L2) "circuits" across a
  	  packet-oriented data network (e.g., over IP).  L2TP, as
  	  originally defined in RFC 2661, is a standard method for
  	  tunneling Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [RFC1661] sessions.
  	  L2TP has since been adopted for tunneling a number of other
  	  L2 protocols, including ATM, Frame Relay, HDLC and even raw
  	  ethernet frames.
  
  	  If you are connecting to L2TPv3 equipment, or you want to
  	  tunnel raw ethernet frames using L2TP, say Y here. If
  	  unsure, say N.

  	help
  	  Support for L2TP-over-IP socket family.
  
  	  The L2TPv3 protocol defines two possible encapsulations for
  	  L2TP frames, namely UDP and plain IP (without UDP). This
  	  driver provides a new L2TPIP socket family with which
  	  userspace L2TPv3 daemons may create L2TP/IP tunnel sockets
  	  when UDP encapsulation is not required. When L2TP is carried
  	  in IP packets, it used IP protocol number 115, so this port
  	  must be enabled in firewalls.
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
  	  will be called l2tp_ip.

  	  Support for carrying raw ethernet frames over L2TPv3.
  
  	  From RFC 4719 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4719.txt>.
  
  	  The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3 (L2TPv3) can be
  	  used as a control protocol and for data encapsulation to set
  	  up Pseudowires for transporting layer 2 Packet Data Units
  	  across an IP network [RFC3931].
  
  	  This driver provides an ethernet virtual interface for each
  	  L2TP ethernet pseudowire instance. Standard Linux tools may
  	  be used to assign an IP address to the local virtual
  	  interface, or add the interface to a bridge.
  
  	  If you are using L2TPv3, you will almost certainly want to
  	  enable this option.
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
  	  will be called l2tp_eth.
