 	<longdescription>xl2tpd is a fork of l2tpd Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) daemon that can be used to transfer frames of OSI layer 2 protocols through an IP tunnel. While it provides authentication via CHAP or PAP it does not provide encryption itself and should therefore be externally secured (via IPSEC).</longdescription>
