Title: The PPP Multilink Protocol (MP)
Author(s): K. Sklower, B. Lloyd, G. McGregor, D. Carr, T. Coradetti.
Status: DRAFT STANDARD
Date: Aug 1996
Length: 53271
Obsoletes: RFC1717
This document proposes a method for splitting, recombining and sequencing datagrams across multiple logical data links. This work was originally motivated by the desire to exploit multiple bearer channels in ISDN, but is equally applicable to any situation in which multiple PPP links connect two systems, including async links. This is accomplished by means of new PPP [2] options and protocols.
The differences between the current PPP Multilink specification (RFC1717) and this memo are explained in Section 11. Any system implementing the additional restrictions required by this memo will be backwards compatible with conforming RFC1717 implementations.
