I would propose the following:

  Description: Layer 2 tunneling protocol network server (LNS)
   l2tpns is a daemon designed to terminate large volumes of layer 2
   tunneling protocol (RFC 2661: L2TP) sessions.
   .
   The daemon supports up to 65535 sessions plus features such as rate
   limiting, walled garden, usage accounting, and clustering (for both
   load-sharing and redundancy).
   .
   Note that only the LNS side of the L2TP protocol is implemented, for
   a more complete L2TP implementation see the l2tpd package.
