Multilink PPP (MLP) bundle, use the ppp multilink interleave command in interface configuration
mode. To disable interleaving, use the no form of the command. By default, interleaving is disabled.

Usage Guidelines for the ppp multilink interleave Command
The ppp multilink interleave command applies to multilink interfaces, which are used to configure a
bundle.
Interleaving works only when the queuing mode on the bundle is set to fair queuing.
If interleaving is enabled when fragment delay is not configured, the default delay is 30 milliseconds.
The fragment size is derived from that delay, depending on the bandwidths of the links.
ppp multilink fragmentation Command
To enable packet fragmentation, use the ppp multilink fragmentation command in interface
configuration mode. To disable fragmentation, use the no form of the command. By default,
fragmentation is enabled.
