[c-nsp] MLPPP and ip load-sharing per-packet

[Shaikh, Nasir]

Hi,
I have a related query, hope someone can help me out here.

I am planning to use MLPPP over 2 ATM pvcs from different providers.
Is there any way that I can influence CEF not to use per-packet load balancing?
There is about 10-15 ms difference in the latencies of the member links and I 
do not want to strain the routers.
I will disable fragmentation but will use MQC to ensure WFQ on the ATM pvcs.
Purpose of using MLPPP is to make the 2 PVCs appear as one for the routing protocol
(EIGRP in this case) and falling back to the shadow pvcs on another router if one or 
both the member links are down.

So can I use MLPPP and ensure that CEF does not do per-packet load balancing?

TIA

Nas

I suspected not, as it wouldn't make much sense, but we were still having 
some issues with VOIP over the the Mu1 interface, so I did go ahead and 
remove those.  I suppose it could be that we have brief traffic spikes 
high enough that I either need more bandwidth or a service-policy giving 
VOIP traffic preferential treatment over the Mu1.
