Siva,

How did you arrive at this assertion? Fragmentation _should_ be orthogonal
to link speed. There is nothing in RFC 1990 to indicate that fragmentation
functionality be dependent on link speed. Are you suggesting that at higher
bit rates (assuming a standard Internet packet size distribution) the MLPPP
engine has difficulty sending and receiving fragments?
