second WAN port to place a call and add bandwidth to the WAN connection when the BOD High Threshold is exceeded for the Add Bandwidth Delay period. Bandwidth can also be subtracted when WAN throughput falls below the BOD Low Threshold and Subtract Bandwidth Delay parameters. Thus, BOD economizes MLPPP by maintaining only the bandwidth needed.

A static implementation of MLPPP is achieved when BOD is disabled but the WAN ports have Multi-Link enabled. In this case, when the two WAN ports have established a connection, the router will check to see if they are connected to the same source and whether the source supports MLPPP. If both conditions are met, the router will automatically bundle the two links together as an MLPPP connection.

Choosing Multi-Link PPP Configuration displays the following screen:

Items in the Multi-Link PPP Configuration window are described as follows:

♦Bandwidth on Demand – Enables/disables BOD. When enabled, BOD will manage the implementation of MLPPP using the parameters defined in this window.
