Frame Relay Multilink vs Frame Relay Multilink o/PPP

Georg Pauwen · ‎07-04-2007

Hello group,

I have a question regarding Frame Relay Multilink over PPP vs Frame Relay Multilink. I have bundled 4x2MB links into a Frame Relay multilink bundle, but I am experiencing lost fragments on one of the bundle links. I wonder if implementing PPP could solve this problem. What is the general advantage of running PPP in this context, given the fact that PPP causes more overhead ?

Thanks for your advice in advance.

Hi GP

Actually I think MLPPP over FR was made for those who cannot use FR ML and have to bundle links on their own. You should try getting FR ML to work upgrading code (if applicable) first, then diagnosing (show buffers, etc), resorting to TAC help if necessary.
