| PPTP use's mppe (Microsoft's point to point encryption)
L2TP use's IPSEC ( internet protocol security)
Only use L2TP with ipsec with win2000 server's.
Server's with winnt use PPTP/ mppe.
L2TP/IPSEC is much stronger because it changes the packet at layer 3, IPSEC
has an AH (authentication headers) and ESP (encapsulating security payloads)
This protocol provides authentication ,integrity and anti -replay
protection.
PPTP do'sent come close,
