Packet
resequencing
Depends on the path selection:
• With address-based
selection (the default),
packets always arrive in
sequence.
• With random path selection,
packets traveling on different
paths can arrive at their
destination out of sequence.
Multilink maintains the sequence
of packets sent over different lines
of the link.
Support for
bandwidth-on-
demand
No Yes
Miscellaneous • Address-based selection
does not always result in
even traffic distribution
across all data paths.
• Random selection provides
for even traffic distribution.
• All lines in a circuit must
negotiate and perform
multilink.
• You cannot use nonmultilink
lines in a circuit with multilink
lines.
• All data packets sent over a
PPP multilink circuit travel as
multilink packets.
