If you really want the technical information with no commercial interruptions the place to go is the RFCs that define L2TP and the environment of IPSec. RFC 2661 defines L2TP and there is a IETF working group that is chartered with extensions to that protocol. The IPSec working group has produced some light reading material :-) published as RFCs 2401-2412. There will most likely be a working group chartered to address issues with regard to using IPSec as a remote access technology, the list for this activity is maintained at http://www.vpnc.org. If you really do want white papers as opposed to standards there are several references listed on the site maintained by the list moderator at http://kubarb.phsx.ukans.edu/~tbird/vpn.html. Good luck with your study.
