MLT
MLT links are designed for interfacing with the metallic loop testing switch application 
found in telephone switch networks. This application consists of proprietary messages 
transported using LAPB. The MLT link type enables the transporting of proprietary 
messages across an IP network. LAPB is terminated on AI296 and the data is 
transported to a remote end point using another transport protocol, such as TCP/IP.

Synchronous PPP links use PPP (point-to-point protocol) and synchronized 
transmission. They can provide clocking or synchronize with an external clock. 
Synchronous PPP links support PAP and CHAP for authentication and can be set as 
bridged (BCP) or routed (IPCP) interfaces.
