L2TP Overview

telecommuters, mobile professionals, and personnel in remote branch offices,

with dial-in access to a corporate network. L2TP enables users to create a virtual

private network (VPN), which uses the existing physical infrastructure of a public

network, such as the Internet, but offers the security and exclusivity of a private

network.
