The number of member links can be adjusted to increase bandwidth
in response to network traffic over the bundle. Active bandwidth
control protocols, such as BACP/BAP, are not supported in this
release. However, the RA 6300, using the security services of RACP,
can restrict the maximum number of member links permitted to join
a bundle, if this control is required by the network administrator. For
more information, see mp_max_links on page 11.
