With Multilink PPP, several ISDN "B" channels are opened to the same remote system, and PPP runs as the link layer on each "B" channel. The application only sees one "logical link" giving a bandwidth of (say) 256Kbps, even though there are actually four "B" channels connected between the two sites. This is achieved by adding an additional data header on each packet sent, so that receiver can different interfaces. See also the entry for BAP, BACP for more information. MLPPP is available in a number of different implementations from Eicon such as IP Connect for UNIX, Connections for Windows NT, and DIVA TA. Keywords: Multilink PPP, MLPPP
