└─>L2TP ethernet pseudowire support for L2TPv3
In linux kernel since version 2.6.35 (release Date: 2010-08-01)
Support for carrying raw ethernet frames over L2TPv3.
From RFC 4719 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4719.txt>.
The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3 (L2TPv3) can be
used as a control protocol and for data encapsulation to set
up Pseudowires for transporting layer 2 Packet Data Units
across an IP network [RFC3931].
This driver provides an ethernet virtual interface for each
L2TP ethernet pseudowire instance. Standard Linux tools may
be used to assign an IP address to the local virtual
interface, or add the interface to a bridge.
If you are using L2TPv3, you will almost certainly want to
enable this option.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called l2tp_eth.
