Is there interest in adding L2TP support?
Yes, if there is also a user space part somewhere.
Yes there is. There's a pppd plugin which comes with the openl2tp
project, http://sf.net/projects/openl2tp. OpenL2TP supports both LAC and
LNS operation. A patch is also available to allow this driver to be used
with another L2TP implementation, l2tpd.
I have a patch which could be submitted for review. The PPPoL2TP driver
presents a PPPoX socket to userspace pppd in the same way as the PPPoE
and PPPoATM drivers. The kernel handles all data traffic, while
userspace daemons do L2TP and PPP control message processing.
Like the pppoe-plugin for pppd?
Yes. :) The plan is to submit the pppol2tp plugin for pppd for inclusion
in the pppd distro after the kernel driver is integrated.
Yes, please check your patch using the nice checklist in
Documentation/SubmitChecklist and do it in suitable chunks
according to Documentation/SubmittingPatches
Will do.
