Hi,

I agree with you re: using dialer load-threshold and ppp multilink, it's a
must and I've used that config over 100 times now. Both are needed. The
first controls when to invoke the second channel, the first creates the
virtual interface/bond/ runs/negotiates the initial setup of the multilink
protcol connection.

As for what happens with ppp multilink, the packets are fragmented between
the two channels. Also, a very good tip. Don't use weighted fair queue AND
multilink. They contradict each other and will have seious implications -
i.e. packets will get lost and the conversation will break down.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Malcolm

Disagree. To configure PPP multilink without dialer-load threshold might be
silly, but to configure both would be smart provided other end equipment can
do the multilink...

NOW FOR MY QUESTION:

When PPP multilink is working on two ISDN B channels, exactly what is
happening to the packets? How are they being split between the two
channels? Round Robin? Actually breaking up the packets? Kind of a
spin
off my two static IP route question previous!

Thanks,

David
