Technical Details

• L2TPv3 is a technique that allows the Office of Information Technology to support features of the University network over many different kinds of Wide Area Network (WAN) links that are not owned or operated by the University
• The L2TPv3 pseudowire allows encryption as an optional service depending upon  requirements
• Operating the remote site all on a single range of addresses is a best practice since connections between different IP address ranges have to transit the link back to the University, increasing latency and decreasing performance and robustness
• DNS and DHCP are provided by systems in the Twin Cities. There are no local DHCP or DNS services

Survivability 

If the WAN is down a loss of connectivity  between IP address ranges hosted at the University at the remote site occurs, disabling the services listed above.
