In L2TPv2, only PPP is tunnelled over L2TP. In L2TPv3, the protocol was extended to allow other traffic types to be carried. The term used is "pseudowire". L2TPv3 supports PPP, FrameRelay, ATM, HDLC and Ethernet pseudowires and some others. I think you want L2TPv3 Ethernet pseudowires, which are virtual ethernet links over an L2TP tunnel. If you are creating a small number of tunnels between two Linux boxes, it can be done with standard Linux command line tools. See http://prol2tp.com/documentation.html?page=l2tpv3.html under "Unmanaged L2TPv3 L2 tunnels for Linux". > > > Thanks > Naveen -- James Chapman Katalix Systems Ltd http://www.katalix.com Catalysts for your Embedded Linux software development ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
