Multilink PPP-Based Link Fragmentation and Interleaving
Restrictions and Limitations for MLP Over Frame Relay-Based LFI
• The router supports a maximum of one member link per bundle. The member link can be up to
2048
kbps.
• The router supports a maximum of 2048 bundles per system and a maximum of 2048 member links
per system.
• The valid multilink interface values are 10,000 and higher.
• Interleaving occurs on only one member link.
• Interface fragmentation and Frame Relay traffic shaping cannot be configured at the same time on
an interface. Do not configure the frame-relay traffic-shaping command on an interface with
Frame Relay interface fragmentation configured.
• The frame-relay fair-dlci queuing command cannot be configured on an interface with Frame
Relay interface fragmentation configured. To specify QoS on LFI-enabled interfaces, use service
policies (see
Chapter 13, “Defining QoS for Multiple Policy Levels”).
• Local Management Interface (LMI) traffic is not fragmented.
• Cisco IOS software supports a maximum of 4096 total virtual template interfaces.
• We strongly recommend that you use only strict priority queues when configuring MLP over Frame
Relay-based LFI. For more information, see
Chapter 8, “Prioritizing Services.”
Configuring MLP-Based LFI
Table 16-4 lists the components you must configure for MLP-based LFI.
