RE: Dialer load threshhold vs. ppp multilink

Richard,
According to page 305, practical studies vol1, ppp multilink is to bind
two 64kbps b channels together to for a single 128-kbps link. This is
also referenced in RFC 1990. To configure PPP multilink, use the
following commands on the interface or idaler on which you want to
configure PPP multilink:
ppp multilink
dialer load-threshold

The dialer load-threshold command specifies the interface load at which
the dialer intitiates another call to the destination.

That is how I understand it, and that is how I always configure it. I
have not seen an example of where dialer load-threshold is used and ppp
multilink is not, if there is please show me an example.

John,

  You can bring up the other channel (with the dialer load-threshold
command) without having ppp multilink enabled !

Hello Joseph,
Usually when you set dialer load-threshold, you want to also use ppp
multilink, otherwise whats the point of setting the load-threshold, if
you
cant bring up the other line.

Can someone explain what the difference is between dialer load-thresh
and
ppp multi? Are they mutually exclusive, if you have ppp configured
anyway?
