Mailing List Archive: Bonded (MLPPP) on 3640 routers -- disapointing performance

Hi All,

I am running two Cisco 3640 routers with two (2) T1 WIC DSU's each. My
provider, broadwing, supplied me with bonded T1's.

Each router connects to two T1's running MLPPP. When running bonded
(MLPPP) I see only a 10% increase in bandwidth.
I have tested each DSU individually and confirmed the 1.3-1.4 mbps
connection. However, when bonded and running MLPPP the
bandwidth increases only to about 1.7 mbps up and 1.4 mbps down.

I believe that the 3640 is well within it's ability to handle 3 mbps
traffic, but I am not getting that.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Bill

Hi William,

Can you supply the appropriate config for the router? Debugging the
MLPPP session would be useful as well. Those will make it much easier
to determine which side the problem is occurring, yours or your provider.
