Security Basics: RE: IPSec = L2TP?

["Freilich, Robert" <Robert.Freilich () ONSTAR com>]

Typically its either one or the other and they are referred to as Layer 2
(L2TP) or Layer 3 (IPSec) VPNs.  Many SW or HW VPN solutions support either
implementations just depends on your networking needs.

Subject: IPSec = L2TP?


Do most VPN solutions that use IPSec also use L2TP? Or are there other
protocols that also use IPSec? I see a lot of mention of IPSec in the sales
literature but no mention of L2TP.

Thanks,

Zac
