I have the same. I can't upload more than 400kB or l2tpd tears down the connection because of not arriving of control packets. > l2tpd daemon says it times out during to no response from the client. I've read the L2TP RFC and AFAIK Control packets have reliable delivery so I don't know how this can happen. Also I can't find any evidence of using control packets for link up-ness detection, only LCP. relevant piece of l2ptd.conf: ---snip--- [lac wanadoo] lns = <blah> redial = yes redial timeout = 10 ; 10 seconds ought to be enough autodial = yes ppp debug = no pppoptfile = /etc/ppp/options.l2tpd ---snip--- options.l2tpd: ---snip--- user <blah>@wanadoo remotename wanadoo ipparam wanadoo mru 1456 mtu 1456 defaultroute asyncmap 0 noauth debug ---snip--- > Anyone have any idea of what I could do ?

It seems logically to me to use LCP which can be configured quite well, but I'm not sure either how to solve this. I find all kind of cronned scripts for Wanadoo (my provider) to ping and restart l2tpd if it fails used by others. But that can't be right, it's dirty.
