Description
L2TP while old is still loved in the ISP community.
Arguments fly back and fourth regarding such an old protocol and "eww pppoe, disgusting" but lets face it, a lot of operators are still providing wholesale connectivity over L2TP (LAC <> LNS).
Therefore getting some basic L2TP codebase into osvbng will allow us to expand into LAC and LNS territory. There is already an L2TPv3 plugin with VPP however we still need to build an FSM/control plane handling on osvbng.
This issue will be updated with more sources but the plan is to probably start working on this mid/late Q2 2026.
Use case
- Wholesale L2TP
- Introduce LAC/LNS functions
