Abstract

The Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) [RFC 2661] provides a standard method for tunneling PPP [RFC 1661] packets. This document describes an extension to L2TP that provides a mechanism to support a failover to a hot standby unit and a continued L2TP operation with a goal to minimize payload data loss during fail over
