If you bind two interfaces together via bridging (BVI) then one
interface will be blocking through spanning-tree. If you multilink them
together with PPP packets can be fragmented to improve utilization and
decrease latency over the links. With multilink PPP (MLPPP) you can
also do this between multiple physical devices with multichassis
multilink PPP.
