What is L2TP?

What will be an ideal response?


Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is an extension of the protocol long used to establish dialup connections on the Internet, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). L2TP uses IPSec rather than MPPE to encrypt data sent over PPP. It provides secure authenticated remote access by encapsulating data into packets that are sent over a PPP channel. Using L2TP, the initiating host machine makes a connection to a modem using PPP and then transmits those PPP data packets to be forwarded to another, separate remote access server. When the data reaches that remote access server, its payload is unpacked and forwarded to the destination host on the internal network.
