Information About the Multiclass Multilink PPP Feature
Multiclass multilink PPP provides the ability to fragment packets of various priorities into multiple
classes, allowing high-priority packets to be sent between fragments of lower priorities. In multiclass
multilink PPP, outgoing packets can be divided into four different multilink classes. Each class has its
own governing sequence number, and the receiving network peer (bundle) sorts and processes each class
independently. Sequence numbers are embedded in the multilink header and used internally to
reassemble packets.

Multiclass multilink PPP must be successfully negotiated with the peer system. If multiclass multilink
PPP cannot be negotiated with the peer system, the router uses standard interleaving, Priority queue
traffic is always PPP encapsulated when interleaving with non-priority traffic.

Scalability
The Cisco 10000 series router supports a maximum of 1996 multilink classes and 1250 multilink
bundles, with up to four classes in each bundle.
