7 - 42 WiNG 5.5 Access Point System Reference Guide 

7.6 Network Deployment Considerations

Before defining an access point network configuration, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the configuration 
is optimally effective:

• In respect to L2TP V3, data transfers on the pseudowire can start as soon as session establishment corresponding to the 

pseudowire is complete. 

• In respect to L2TP V3, the control connection keep-alive mechanism of L2TP V3 can serve as a monitoring mechanism for 

the pseudowires associated with a control connection.
