Hello ,

        Is it possible to make the provision in the L2TPHC  for the tunnel
id ....as in our implementation of the L2TP , we can have multiple tunnels
between the LAC and the LNS ......So it won't be possible for us to use the
L2TPHC if we cannot have the tunnel id ....


Regards,
Jitender

AVP


	Dear Mr. Valencia and L2TPers,
	reading
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-l2tpext-l2tphc-04.txt,
I didn't quite understand the usage of the L2TPHC-PPP-Protocol optional
AVP.
	The draft says: 
"Another optional AVP, ``L2TPHC-PPP-Protocol'', may be sent immediately
following the ``L2TPHC-No-Header''. If both sent and received, its Value
field indicates the PPP protocol number which will be the single value
carried in the payload of all PPP packets, and the payload transmitted
through L2TPHC will omit PPP HDLC flags and control, as well as the one
or two byte protocol field. The receiving side would then have to
recreate a suitable PPP header and insert it onto received payload."
	Does this mean that:
a) Only one NCP can run at a given time on the many sessions of the
Tunnel? Or is it per session?
b) There will be absolutely NO LCP packets on this tunnel? Else, how can
they be identified? 

	Thanks in advance,
