l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts
This patch splits the pppol2tp driver into separate L2TP and PPP parts to prepare for L2TPv3 support. In L2TPv3, protocols other than PPP can be carried, so this split creates a common L2TP core that will handle the common L2TP bits which protocol support modules such as PPP will use. Note that the existing pppol2tp module is split into l2tp_core and l2tp_ppp by this change. There are no feature changes here. Internally, however, there are significant changes, mostly to handle the separation of PPP-specific data from the L2TP session and to provide hooks in the core for modules like PPP to access.

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. | ||
|
||
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. |
