L2TP Extended Failover
The L2TP Extended Failover feature extends Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) failover to occur if,
during tunnel establishment, a router receives a Stop Control Connection Notification (StopCCN)
message from its peer, or during session establishment a router receives a Call Disconnect Notify (CDN)
message from its peer. In either case, the router selects an alternate peer to contact. This action is in
addition to the existing failover caused by excessive retransmission of Start Control Connection Reply
(SCCRQ) messages that indicate there is no response from the peer.

The L2TP Extended Failover feature results in improved load distribution and prevents congestion at a
tunnel terminator by allowing the busy tunnel terminator to inform the tunnel initiator that it should try
an alternate tunnel terminator.
