tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway.
PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow
control required by ISPs.
• Layer Two Tunneling Protocol – Includes most of the
features provided by PPTP, but has less overhead and is
more suited for managed networks.

can support large encryption networks (such as the
Internet) by using digital certificates for device
authentication.
