Multilink Parameters

Multilink PPP (MPP) allows data calls to be sent or received on
both channels. Normally a call will use one channel but for speed
or larger data calls, two channels is more efficient. MPP assigns
extra bandwidth to calls in association with BACP.
BACP parameters are also set on the individual paths; see
8-13

reached for a path, MPP will bring up a second link for
additional bandwidth. (See

Specifies whether the link will use short or long
sequence numbers
Short sequence numbers allow more data to be carried
per packet than long sequence numbers. This option is
useful when using long delay links, for example satellite
links, where the links can lose synchronization.
