l2tpd is a user-space L2TP daemon. L2TP is the Layer Two Tunneling
|
||
|
|
Protocol described in RFC 2661. It allows you to tunnel PPP sessions
|
||
|
|
over a network or transport protocol (in this case, UDP.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Part of the l2tp code is implemented in the l2tpd program, and part of
|
||
|
|
it is implemented as "handlers". A handler is a shared-object library
|
||
|
|
which is dynamically linked into l2tpd at run-time using the
|
||
|
|
"load-handler" configuration directive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although the handlers included with this package (sync-pppd and cmd)
|
||
|
|
are licensed under the GPL, as a special exception, you may write your
|
||
|
|
own handlers which link to code in this package and not release them
|
||
|
|
under the GPL. There may be other reasons why your handlers must
|
||
|
|
be released under the GPL (for example, they may link with other GPL'd
|
||
|
|
code), but in the absence of other reasons, you may keep your handlers
|
||
|
|
proprietary.
