People are typically using the term LNS (L2TP Network Server) to descripe a tunnel end-point device which termiantes L2TP tunnels, inside which they terminate PPP (subscriber) sessions. These are historically PPPoA sessions. People also typically using the term BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) to describe a device performing a similar function but typically for PPPoE subscriber sessions insead of PPPoE. Also BNGs are typically used in either scenario of terminating PPP sessions inside L2TP or terminating PPPoE directly, for LNS devices this is less common and connections are usually aggregated by a LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator). Hopefully soon BNG will more commonly refer to IPoE subsribers as we try to get rid of PPP.
