MLP (multilink PPP) as a technology exists to allow multiple links between a pair of sites to act as one logical link. MLP by itself originally didn't support Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) over Frame Relay. The two technologies that you are studying (MLP LFI Over FR/ATM and FRF.12) are, from your perspective, both methods of providing LFI.
In terms of the IPExpert topology, we only have one link between a pair of sites (A to B and A to C). However, we can still use either MLP LFI over FR or FRF.12 to provide interleaving of delay-sensitive voice traffic with fragmented delay-insensitive traffic. In the "real-world," if you had low-speed Frame Relay links end-to-end, you'd use FRF.12. If you had to deal with Frame Relay to ATM interworking, MLP LFI would be the better choice. Obviously, this is becoming an obsolete topic as we deal with less and less Frame Relay, very little if any ATM, and fewer and fewer links that are slower than 768 kbps.
