Multilink interface mystery

Hi Group,

I saw the following config from a VoIP config...

RTA --- RTB
    PPP
    64kbps

Does anyone know what does a Multilink interface do? I have used ppp multilink &
dialer-load threshold under BRI interface to combined 2 x 64k to a faster ISDN link
before, but I have no idea what this Multilink interface do...

interface Multilink1
 ip unnumbered Ethernet1/0
 no ip directed-broadcast
 ip tcp header-compression iphc-format
 no ip mroute-cache
 fair-queue 64 16 0
 no cdp enable
 ppp multilink
 ppp multilink fragment-delay 10 <---- Also, what does this do?
 ppp multilink interleave <---- & this?
 multilink-group 1
 ip rtp header-compression iphc-format
 ip rtp priority 16384 16383 48
!
interface Ethernet1/0
 ip address 172.16.110.1 255.255.255.0
 no ip directed-broadcast
!
interface Serial1/0
 bandwidth 64
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 encapsulation ppp
 no ip mroute-cache
 no fair-queue
 clockrate 64000
 ppp multilink
 multilink-group 1

Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Hunt
