Hi All,
I want to select a L2tp package for l2tp vpn client setup on linux.
I was going through xl2tpd and openl2tp are the packages for l2tp and
are the opensource packages.
What exactly is the difference between the two and i am
planning to use strongswan to provide ipsec vpn for the same.
Thanks
Naveen
