[nsp] MLPPP & Cisco

[Voll, Scott]

I was going to implement MLPPP but was advice not to in my particular
case.  I do a lot of Video conferencing so it would cause out of order
packets.  So if you have applications that are sensetive to out of order
packets I would not use it.  Also, MLPPP adds some good old fashion over
head.  Might be reason enough to not use MLPPP.

Other things to look at are how is the data coming from that site.  Is
it all coming from one IP address (like a Proxy)?

Is anybody out there running MLPPP to bond multiple T1's on Cisco
routers? And if so, how many T1's, what platform and how is it running?
I just had a request from someone that wants to connect 2 buildings via
2 T1's initially, but they want to be able to go up to 6-7 T1's
eventually and they want to load balance over all of the T1's.  I seem
to remember that Cisco's have a max of 6 simultaneous path's (or is it
4?), but with MLPPP, there really is no limit.  I also wouldn't object
to performance guideline's if anybody has any.  Thanks.
