•Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol — Provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.

•L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F — Like PPTP, L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.

•IP Security — Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication.
