xl2tpd - Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol Daemon (RFC 2661)

Description:

xl2tpd is an implementation of the Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol (RFC 2661).
L2TP allows you to tunnel PPP over UDP. Some ISPs use L2TP to tunnel user
sessions from dial-in servers (modem banks, ADSL DSLAMs) to back-end PPP
servers.

L2TP is also used for older Windows-based clients in combination with IPsec
for VPN connectivity, see RFC 3193. All other clients (android, iOS, OSX,
Linux) are recommended to switch to using IKEv2 or IKEv1 XAUTH. On Linux,
xl2tpd can be used in combination with IPsec implementations such as Libreswan.
Example configuration files for such a setup are included in this RPM.

xl2tpd works by opening a pseudo-tty for communicating with pppd.
It runs completely in userspace.

xl2tpd supports IPsec SA Reference tracking to enable overlapping internal
NAT'ed IP's by different clients (eg all clients connecting from their
linksys internal IP 192.168.1.101) as well as multiple clients behind
the same NAT router.

xl2tpd supports the pppol2tp kernel mode operations on 2.6.23 or higher,
or via a patch in contrib for 2.4.x kernels.

Xl2tpd is based on the 0.69 L2TP by Jeff McAdams <jeffm@iglou.com>
It was de-facto maintained by Jacco de Leeuw <jacco2@dds.nl> in 2002 and 2003.

Packages

- Remove kmod require, not recognised and l2tp_ppp.ko is in core kernel package now
- Update service file to use Restart=always and require network-online.target
