Multilink PPP
Multilink PPP (ML-PPP also, MPPP or MP) is a communication protocol which a point-to-point - data stream is divided to multiple independent transmission channels or combines multiple channels to a channel. With the ML-PPP protocol, several, even different, network connections are bundled into a single virtual connection with a higher data transmission rate .
For example, two 64 kbit / s channels can be combined into a single 128 kbit / s channel. With this combination, the total connection capacity available can be used for broadband applications.
development
In 1994 MLPPP was published as RFC 1717 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for use with the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) . Subsequently, other communication media such as dial-up via telephone modems , cable modems , optical networks and satellite connections were added.
In August 1996, ML-PPP was defined by the IETF as RFC 1990 .
requirements
ML-PPP makes it possible to combine connections via different media. To implement these combinations, the data transmission rates of the two channels must be similar. Otherwise the data flow from the slower connection is assumed. The respective operating systems of the computers and the relevant Internet Service Provider (ISP) must also support the ML-PPP.
