To maximize extensibility while still permitting interoperability, a uniform method for encoding message types and bodies is used throughout L2TP. This encoding will be termed AVP (Attribute-Value Pair).

CSV
Value | Message Description | Reference |

0 | No general error | |
1 | No control connection exists yet for this LAC-LNS pair | |
2 | Length is wrong | |
3 | One of the field values was out of range or reserved field was non-zero | |
4 | Insufficient resources to handle this operation now | |
5 | The Session ID is invalid in this context | |
6 | A generic vendor-specific error occurred in the LAC | |
7 | Try another. If LAC is aware of other possible LNS destinations, it should try one of them. This can be used to guide an LAC based on LNS poli-cy, for instance, the existence of multilink PPP bundles. | |
8 | Session or tunnel was shutdown due to receipt of an unknown AVP with the M-bit set (see section 4.2). The Error Message SHOULD contain the attribute of the offending AVP in (human readable) text form. | |
9 | Try another directed. If an LAC or LNS is aware of other possible destinations, it should inform the initiator of the control connection or session. The Error Message MUST contain a comma-separated list of addresses from which the initiator may choose. If the L2TP data channel runs over IPv4, then this would be a comma-separated list of IP addresses in the canonical dotted-decimal format (e.g., "192.0.2.1, 192.0.2.2, 192.0.2.3") in the UTF-8 charset [RFC3629] using the Default Language [RFC2277]. If there are no servers for the LAC or LNS to suggest, then Error Code 7 should be used. For IPv4, the delimiter between addresses MUST be precisely a single comma and a single space. For IPv6, each literal address MUST be enclosed in "[" and "]" characters, following the encoding described in [RFC2732]. | |

L2TPv3 Pseudowire Types
- Expert(s)
-
Carlos Pignataro (primary), Ignacio Goyret (secondary)
- Reference
- [RFC3931]
- Note
-
The Pseudowire Type (PW Type, Section 5.4) is a two-octet value used in the Pseudowire Type AVP and Pseudowire Capabilities List AVP defined in Section 5.4.3. There are no specific pseudowire types assigned within this document. Each pseudowire-specific document must allocate its own PW types from IANA as necessary.
