But to answer your question the load is based off 64kbps so the
load-threshold should be set to 128 for 32kbps (50% utilization).
As a side note not all ISDN connections are 64kbps per B channel. ISDN
can be 56kbps per B channel.

IPExpert uses 64, not 128.
Hi Brian,
can you explain a bit more
Thanks
