Talk:Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

is it just me or did l2tpd.org vanish?

Yes, the company hosting that domain lost interest and a domain hijacker took it. Check out the news at https://sourceforge.net/projects/l2tpd/

I just noticed that. Those hijackers are really completely sickening. :-( Anyway, I just noticed this page mentions that PPTP is a Microsoft technology, while the PPTP Wikipedia page says it's invented by Cisco and licenses by Microsoft. What's true?

[edit] L2TP/IPSec

Thought that a section on these would be useful. Unfortunately, I forgot to sign in, so it's not attributed to me. If you have questions, my username follows. If anyone has a nice picture of the full encapsulation (IP-ESP-UDP-PPP-L2TP-Private IP-TCP/UDP-Data), it would help understanding. Scorpiuss 17:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't PPP follow L2TP? Iglam 01:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Be sure to consider MTU when implementing L2TP. Doesn't sound too informative, kind of like "be sure to consider the steering wheel while driving a car". Should be explained, or removed.

The correct name is L2TP/IPsec, not L2TP/IPSec (see RFC).

[edit] Renaming page for better accuracy

I am planning to rename this page to "Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol", as this is the correct title. Any comments? Web-Crawling Stickler 18:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
