+ 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.
