DI-1162/DI-1162M Remote Access Router

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.

Items in the screen are described as follows:

♦Max Ports – Maximum ports allowed per multi-link bundle.

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

♦BOD Criteria – Either TX, RX or TX or RX, where TX is Transmit and RX is Receive. The parameter defined here is used when monitoring the BOD High Threshold and BOD Low Threshold.

♦BOD High Threshold (%) – (0 to 100) The throughput value as a percentage of total bandwidth which will cause the next WAN port having Multi-Link PPP enabled to dial up and add bandwidth to the connection. This value, however, must be constantly exceeded for the time designated in the Add Bandwidth Delay field before the next WAN port dials out.

♦BOD Low Threshold (%) – (0 to 100) The throughput value as a percentage of total bandwidth which will cause the highest numbered WAN port in the MLPPP bundle to hang up, thus subtracting bandwidth from the connection. Before actually hanging up however, the throughput must be below this value for the time designated in the Subtract Bandwidth Delay field.

♦Add Bandwidth Delay (sec) – (0 to 999) The amount of time in seconds the router will wait and sample the BOD Criteria before adding bandwidth once the throughput exceeds the BOD High Threshold. This prevents costly bandwidth from being unnecessarily added due to temporary bursts in traffic.

♦Subtract Bandwidth Delay (sec) – (0 to 999) The amount of time in seconds the router will wait and sample the BOD Criteria before subtracting bandwidth once the throughput falls below the BOD Low Threshold. This prevents bandwidth from being unnecessarily subtracted due to temporary lulls in traffic.
