Not a good book
You would be better off reading the standard RFCs 1661 and 2661.It is ok for an overview.

Good books for overview people
This book is a good one for people who need to be able to speak about PPP, MP, and L2TP and understand where they fit into products they sell or support.The section on ppp is not as good as the Carlson book, so if you can have just one book on ppp - this is not it. The chapter dedicated to l2tp was good, but not as good as the Shea book. More than a rehash of the standards documents, it occasionally enlarges on some implications of the standards that may not be immediately obvious. I could not understand at all why the bits on arp, ip, tcp, and so on were included. I would have dearly loved a more in depth discussion radius as it relates to MP and L2TP. Again, not a bad book, but lacking the focus and detail I look for.
