Overview

Bundle objects

Bundle objects can be configured as multilink PPP, IMA group, or FR group bundles. Multilink PPP, IMA group, and FR group bundles appear as Bundle objects under the daughter card object if the daughter card has been configured as a channelized MDA.

APS Bundle objects appear in the navigation tree as children of the shelf object. APS Bundle objects are configured to protect multilink PPP and IMA bundles on channelized ASAP MDAs. See Chapter 38, APS for more information on APS and APS bundles.

You can create MLPPP bundles to:

The following general rules apply to multilink bundles.

FR group bundles

FR group bundles are used to fragment lower priority DLCI frames to minimize jitter and delay on higher priority DLCI frames. The following general rules apply to FR group bundles.

Note: You can configure a maximum of 128 FR group bundles on an MDA.
