[c-nsp] Per packet load balancing with low latency

[Michael Malitsky]

Don't have a link handy, but here is a sample of the config we use.  You
can view status using

show ppp multilink



interface Multilink1
 description Multiplexed Logical Connection to remote site
 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
 ip access-group inbound in
 ip access-group outbound out
 ip verify unicast source reachable-via rx
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 no peer neighbor-route
 fair-queue 1024 256 0
 ppp multilink
 ppp multilink fragment disable
 ppp multilink group 1

interface Serial1/0/19:0
 description Connected to remote site (circuit 1)
 no ip address
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 encapsulation ppp
 no fair-queue
 ppp multilink
 ppp multilink group 1

interface Serial1/0/21:0
 description Connected to remote site (circuit 2)
 no ip address
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 encapsulation ppp
 no fair-queue
 ppp multilink
 ppp multilink group 1
