9	  Layer Two Tunneling Protocol
10
11	  From RFC 2661 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2661.txt>.
12
13	  L2TP facilitates the tunneling of packets across an
14	  intervening network in a way that is as transparent as
15	  possible to both end-users and applications.
16
17	  L2TP is often used to tunnel PPP traffic over IP
18	  tunnels. One IP tunnel may carry thousands of individual PPP
19	  connections. L2TP is also used as a VPN protocol, popular
20	  with home workers to connect to their offices.
21
22	  The kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
23	  userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
24	  and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
25	  (http://openl2tp.org/).
26
27	  If you don't need L2TP, say N. To compile all L2TP code as
28	  modules, choose M here.
