[RFC PATCH 0/2] l2tp: Introduce L2TPv3 IP encapsulation for IPv6

From: James Chapman <jchapman@katalix.com>
Date: 2012-04-17 12:29:35

The following patch series adds support for L2TPv3 IP encapsulation
over IPv6. Support for L2TPv3 IP encap over IPv4 is already present in
the kernel (l2tp_ip). The new code is derived from l2tp_ip and
ipv6/raw. I'm posting as an RFC to get feedback on the approach being
used, because the implementation uses several ipv6 functions which are
not currently exported.

A patch series adding IPv6 support for L2TPv2 and L2TPv3 UDP
encapsulation is being worked on by Ben LaHaise and is independent of
these changes.
