ql2tpd is a daemon for creating static L2TPv3 (RFC 3931) tunnels and sessions.

       Static  (or  quiescent)  tunnels  and  sessions implement only the data plane transport: the L2TP control
       protocol is not used.  This can be useful for setting up static L2TPv3 links where host configuration  is
       known in advance.

       When  configured to bring up static tunnel and session instances, ql2tpd represents a more convenient way
       to bring up static sessions than ipl2tp commands.

       Additionally, ql2tpd supports the use of  a  periodic  keep-alive  packet  for  tunnels  it  is  managing
       (controlled by the configuration file hello_timeout parameter).

       This  allows  for the detection of tunnel failure, which will then tear down the sessions running in that
       tunnel.  This mode of operation must only be enabled if the peer is also running ql2tpd.

       ql2tpd requires root permissions to run, and is driven by a configuration file which details  the  tunnel
       and session instances to create.

       For further details of the configuration format, please refer to ql2tpd.toml(5).
