It's still alpha and ugly, but... See src/mkifaces.cc for the microbench 
that shows the scaling issues with lots of interfaces.  I'd hoped to have 
time to test it on the weekend, but other stuff got in the way.  The quick 
guide to setup is:

        ./configure --with-l2tp
        make
        insmod kernel/kern.o
        insmod drivers/l2tp/l2tp_k.o
        make -C src mkifaces
        src/mkifaces <num>

Although I'm not sure if this works on 2.6 in this build as most of my 
development was done on 2.4 over the summer.  Cheers,
