Can someone explain the behavior about not being able to configure /32 on PPP 
multilink?

Yep, PPP by default always installs the neighbor route as a /32 network so that 
is how a situation like this will function.

Hi,

Normally, we cannot configure /32 IP on the PPP multilink. Atlease /31 need to 
configure.
But if use ip unnumber to loopback interface which has /32 IP, then this PPP 
multilink interface will get the /32 IP.
Let say R1 loopback is 1.1.1.1/32 and R2 loopback is 3.3.3.3/32 , R1 and R2 
between is Multilink ppp.
These 2 IP can ping each other. In the routing table, it show as connected 
route.

Gateway of last resort is not set
     1.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       1.1.1.1 is directly connected, Loopback1
     3.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       3.3.3.3 is directly connected, Multilink1
This is the debug logs
*Mar  1 01:23:48.159: Vi1 MLP: O ppp IP (0021) size 106 encsize 6
*Mar  1 01:23:48.159: Vi1 MLP: O data 1871 03CF 0021 4500 0064 008A 0000 FF01
*Mar  1 01:23:48.195: Vi1 MLP: I ppp IP (0021) size 104 encsize 4
*Mar  1 01:23:48.199: Vi1 MLP: I data FF03 0021 4500 0064 008B 0000 FF01 B306
*Mar  1 01:23:48.203: ICMP: echo reply sent, src 1.1.1.1, dst 3.3.3.3
*Mar  1 01:23:48.203: Vi1 MLP: O ppp IP (0021) size 106 encsize 6
*Mar  1 01:23:48.203: Vi1 MLP: O data 1871 03CF 0021 4500 0064 008B 0000 FF01
In workbooks, most of the examples are used /24, /30, /31 all same subnets. Not 
different subnet.
I just want to know how these packets travel over multilink ppp.

Regards,
