Information from the previous two entries is not as up to date as you think.
For a more up to date reference on various l2tp daemons, see:

http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/freeswan-l2tp.html#L2TPoverview

And in an update on that. rp-l2tp development has stalled. l2tp development in
cvs has started again, and some of the long standing patches that are in Jacco's
rpm have been integrated. I am waiting for a real release before updating my rpm.

My rpm is based on Jacco's, but adapted to remove all the suse / mandrake /
slackware specifics.

This l2tp daemon is by far the most commonly deployed l2tp in combination with
openswan, since it has a buil-in IP address pool option. All other l2tp daemons
need IP Adress Pooling via a Radius server and/or the very latest pppd server
options, which no one who has deployed l2tp servers on linux really has any
experience with AFAIK.

In the next few days I will be updating the l2tp rpm to include the patent
documentation.

I do hope we will not be stalling based on a long discussion on which l2tp
daemon to include. There is no reason to later on not include openltp or
rp-l2tp. I can make sure that there is a proper provide for 'l2tp server' so
that these packages can co-exist together.

ExecSum: l2tpd is great for small l2tp/ipsec deployments. People who have a
radius server running with IP address pools might want openl2tp or l2tpns.

If there is an interest, i could also adapt rp-l2tpd, but this package has also
 not seen much development lately, and has not been deployed as widely as l2tpd.
