.BI offset " OFFSET"
sets the byte offset from the L2TP header where user data starts in
transmitted L2TP data packets. This is hardly ever used. If set, the

dynamic tunnels. If a non-Linux peer supports Hello messages in
unmanaged tunnels, it must be turned off to interoperate with Linux.

+Linux defaults to use the Default Layer2SpecificHeader type as defined
+in the L2TPv3 protocol specification, RFC3931. This setting must be
+consistent with that configured at the peer. Some vendor
+implementations (e.g. Cisco) default to use a Layer2SpecificHeader
+type of None.
