Describe the L2TP Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP).

What will be an ideal response?


L2TP is an extension of PPP. It uses IPSec rather than MPPE to encrypt data sent over PPP. It provides secure authenticated remote access by separating the process of initiating a connection from the process of forwarding the data encapsulated in PPP communications. Using L2TP, a host machine can make a connection to a modem and then have its PPP data packets forwarded to another, separate remote access server. When the data reaches the remote access server, its payload is unpacked and forwarded to the destination host on the internal network.
