 Point-to-point tunneling protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PPTP is popular because it is easy to configure and it was the first VPN protocol that was supported by Microsoft Dial-up Networking.
The PPTP protocol works by sending a regular PPP session to the peer with the Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol.
PPTP is difficult to forward past a network firewall because it requires two network sessions.

 Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
PPTP tunneling has particular significance if your IP network is using addresses that you haven't registered with InterNIC or addresses that InterNIC has reserved for private networks (such as the 10.x.x.x range).
PPTP helps you put the mundane task of modem management into the hands of people who are experts at it--Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
PPTP installation then launches Remote Access Setup, shown in Screen 2, where you add all your VPN devices to your RAS server, in the same way that you add modems.

I have been working with point to point tunnelling protocol and discovered (by accident) that if you send a pptp start session request with an invalid packet length in the pptp packet header that it will crash an NT box.
Also, I am unable to test it with different hotfixes, etc. I discovered that NT 4.0 w/SP3 and RAS PPTP is vulnerable to a DOS causing core dump.

The base L2TP protocol consists of a control protocol for dynamic creation, maintenance and tear-down of L2TP sessions; and data encapsulation to multiplex and demultiplex Layer 2 datastreams between IP-connected nodes.
L2TP, originally defined in RFC 2661, was designed to provide dynamic tunneling for multiple Layer 2 circuits across packet-oriented data networks.
It also adds important new features such as increasing the session and tunnel ID space from 16 to 32 bits, which dramatically increases the number of tunnels from 65,000 to more than 4 billion.
