There is at least one subtle difference between using dialer load-threshold with ppp multilink and without (or at least between using ppp multilink and using hdlc). It actually appears to be a different command, but with the same syntax. There is a bug that means that only outgoing load is used in the BoD calculations. This appears to be written up as a 'feature' in some of the doco (sorry, in a bit of a hurry and don't have time to look up the BugID or links - yell if you really want them and I'll chase them later). In other words, 'dialer load-threshold 150 either' will ignore the 'either' and just look at outgoing load. However, over ppp multilink, the 'inbound' and 'either' options do work.

This enables bandwidth on demand and seems to provide the same throughput and functionality as ppp multilink. If you specify dialer load-threshold AND ppp multilink, then the interfaces switches to 'industry standard' ppp multilink. I was curious if there were any benefits (ie. bandwidth utilisation, delay, CPU time, memory, etc) to be gained by using bandwidth on demand without ppp multilink.
