l2tp: Add L2TPv3 protocol support
The L2TPv3 protocol changes the layout of the L2TP packet header. Tunnel and session ids change from 16-bit to 32-bit values, data sequence numbers change from 16-bit to 24-bit values and PPP-specific fields are moved into protocol-specific subheaders. Although this patch introduces L2TPv3 protocol support, there are no userspace interfaces to create L2TPv3 sessions yet.

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.
