Configuring PPP Services
2-16 117360-A Rev. A
Using Multilink Fragmentation
By default, PPP multilink allows packet fragmentation. With fragmentation
enabled, PPP splits large datagrams into smaller packets and sends these packets
across links in a multilink bundle. Enabling fragmentation means that PPP can
split packets when necessary for better performance. PPP does not arbitrarily split
all the packets it transmits. Fragmentation improves the distribution of data across
multilink lines and uses buffer resources more efficiently, thereby improving the
flow of data over multilink circuits. By default, multilink fragmentation is
enabled. Bay Networks routers comply with RFC 1717, which defines PPP
multilink.
Without multilink fragmentation, when PPP sends packets over a multilink
bundle, it sends one packet over each line in sequence in a round-robin fashion. To
optimize performance, PPP does attempt to send fewer packets on the slower
lines. However, some packets with higher sequence numbers sent over faster lines
could be received earlier than packets with lower sequence numbers sent over
slower lines. Since PPP maintains the sequence of received packets, the receiving
peer must store the out-of-sequence packets until the delayed packet arrives, and
this can result in slower network performance. If the number of packets needing to
be resequenced is greater than the available allowed buffer space, some packets
could be considered late and discarded.
When you enable fragmentation, you can specify the minimum-size packet that
you want PPP to consider fragmenting. (The default minimum size is 256 bytes.)
Even with fragmentation enabled, PPP generally avoids splitting packets unless
network performance considerations warrant it.
When necessary, PPP splits packets into fragments and then sends the fragments
over the lines in the bundle, reassembling them on the receiving peer into the
proper sequence. PPP discards all fragments of an incomplete reassembly. The
number of fragments is equal to or less than the number of lines available. For
bundles containing lines of different speeds, PPP tries to send the smaller
fragments over the slower lines. This mechanism ensures a more even flow of
data.
