Multi-Link PPP (MLPPP)
Multi-link PPP (MLPPP) is a standard (RFC 1990 and RFC 1717) for
inverse multiplexing, a method of combining individually dialed
channels into a single, higher speed data stream. MLPPP is an
extension of PPP that supports the ordering of data packets across
multiple channels. Although MLPPP can be implemented on any WAN
device, it was the rapid emergence of ISDN BRI as a cost efficient
higher bandwidth alternative to modems which has driven the evolution
and acceptance of MLPPP. Typically MLPPP is used to combine the
speed of two ISDN BRI B-Channels to get 128Kbps of virtual capacity.
Before implementing MLPPP on the DI-1162, please ensure that your
ISP or the device to which you are connecting supports, and is
configured for MLPPP.
MLPPP can be implemented in two ways, dynamically through the use
of the Bandwidth on Demand (BOD), and statically. BOD causes the
