| l2tp is primarily for vpn it is a combination of
pptp and cisco's l2f or layer 2 forwarding.
gre is cisco's generic route epcapsulation
basically creating an ip tunnel to carry "other"
traffic accross an ip backbone. it must be terminated on the outside or closet points of the tunnel.
for more info read the rfc !!!!
then you'll know more then you'd ever want to know |
