An L2TP tunnel is established using the pre-agreed IP addresses, hostname and shared secret. Note that if your LNS rejects the tunnel connection, or fails to respond to the SCCRQ or a subsequent HELLO, then it will be black listed for 5 minutes allowing further connections to go to the fall-back LNSs.

Once the tunnel is established, a session is established for each connecting data SIM.

==Connect Speed==
We've seen various devices give odd Connect Speed settings when they connect. EG, OSX sends:
Connect Speed: 1000000
And a Pfsense has been seen to send 10Mbit/s and even the source code had it hard coded to 10Mbit/s.


[[File:L2TP OS X speed weirdness.png|thumbnail|TCP Dump of OSX L2TP highlighting the 'Connect Speed']]


This means that it is asking for a 1Mbit/s connection. This does not looks like it's configurable either.


From May 2016 we ignore the Connect Speed, and simply limit the speed to 100Mbit/s at our side.
