One operates at the IP layer
One operates at the TCP layer

Both use certificates for authentication and encryption.

But I suppose that SSL VPN products are popular now because port 443 is seen as 
the "universal firewall bypass" port, and so setting up SSTP (or similar SSL 
VPN product) and having roaming clients be able to access your server maybe the 
easiest to do.

Subject: L2TP vs. SSTP

Windows Server 2008 is supposed to come out with Secure Socket Tunneling
Protocol (SSTP).  Does anyone know the advantages/disadvantages of using
this verses L2TP?  Thanks for your help.
