Hi Naveen, Yes you can use OpenL2TP to tunnel packets. From your description earlier, I thought you didn't want to use PPP, so I was suggesting use L2TP unmanaged tunnels.
OpenL2TP and xl2tp are L2TPv2 implementations which means they always use PPP. Configure them as a client to connect to your server.
