[L2TP]: PPP over L2TP driver core
This driver handles only L2TP data frames; control frames are handled by a userspace application. It implements L2TP using the PPPoX socket family. There is a PPPoX socket for each L2TP session in an L2TP tunnel. PPP data within each session is passed through the kernel's PPP subsystem via this driver. Kernel parameters of each socket can be read or modified using ioctl() or [gs]etsockopt() calls. Signed-off-by: James Chapman <jchapman@katalix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
