4.1.2 Outgoing Authentication Protocol

Generally speaking, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible, for obvious reasons. However, some vendor’s implementation includes specific authentication protocol in the user profile. It will disconnect if the negotiated protocol is different from that in the user profile, even when the negotiated protocol is stronger than specified. If you encounter the case where the peer disconnects right after a successful authentication, please make sure that you specify the correct authentication protocol when connecting to such an implementation.

4.1.3 PPP Multilink

The Prestige uses the PPP Multilink Protocol (PPP/MP ) to bundle multiple links in a single connection to boost the effective throughput between two nodes. The bundle works best when the member links are of the same type of call (e.g., POTS vs. ISDN) and at approximately the same speed.

Due to the fragmentation/reconstruction overhead associated with MP, you may not get a linear increase in throughput when a link is added. The overhead becomes more significant as the number of links increases; thus bundling more than 2 links is not recommended, because of the rapidly diminishing return for the subsequent links.

The number of links in an MP bundle can be statically configured, or dynamically determined at runtime, as explained in the following section.
