Viewing the Round Trip Time Statistics

The round trip time statistics reflect the measured round trip time to each remote daemon. The minimum,
average, maximum and standard deviation of times is presented. Entries with a large difference between the
Transmitted and Received parameters indicate potential problems.
To view the round trip time statistics, navigate to tunnel » l2tunneld » status » round-trip-time. The Round Trip
Time Statistics form appears.
NOTE
Round trip time statistics are only available when remote daemon IP addresses are configured for
generic tunnels. For more information about remote daemon IP addresses, refer to

Configuring L2TP Tunnels

The Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is used primarily to tunnel Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) packets
through an IP network, although it is also capable of tunneling other layer 2 protocols.
ROX II utilizes L2TPD in conjunction with Openswan and PPP to provide support for establishing a secure,
private connection with the router using the Microsoft Windows VPN/L2TP client.
IMPORTANT!
L2TPD listens on UDP port 1701. If a firewall is enabled, it must be configured to only allow
connections to L2TPD through IPsec . Direct connections to L2TPD must be prevented.
To configure L2TP tunnels, do the following:
