Carlos,
I have to disagree with you on this.
If only one bri is used, how can multilink fragment and interleave over
multple paths?
For fragmentation to take place, there needs to be at least 2 paths over
which traffic is sent.
I think where you're getting confused is with the command, ppp multilink.
True, this command is required before ppp will fragment packets, but by
itself, it's not sufficient. There also has to be multiple paths over which
to send traffic.
That's where the 2nd command comes into play. By adding the command, ppp
multilink links min 2, you're insuring that there will always be 2 bri's.
Now, the ppp multilink command can actually fragment packets and split the
fragments across the 2 bri's.
HTH, Tim
