This is an example of relational commands. :) One affects the other, but
does not mean it requires it.
As stated, you can have two channels up to the same destination regardless
of using multilink. Multilink allows the "bonding" of the channels to
appear to the router as a single interface. Without multilink, you have two
separate but equal connections to the same destination. During this case,
the normal router behavior takes over.
Load-threshold is based on the interface utilization. You CAN also have
"ppp multilink load-threshold" which specifies the time at which a second
interface is brough up SPECIFIC to the multilink bundle.
There are many different facets of exciting things within the dial world.
Historically, you will find they came about at different times, and while
they may work together, does not necessarily mean they were designed
together!
Give it a whirl sometime!

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?
