Dave,

This is on load, not per packet.

It could have taken 50 packets to push it up to the configured load, or only
30, depending on what type of packets are going across the link.

HTH

Lee.

Scott,

"If you want to do L3 load balancing, then you'll run dialer load-threshold
WITHOUT running multilink."

So, configuring "dialer load-threshold" without "ppp multilink" is a method
of layer 3 load balancing over two B channels? Would this be per-packet load
balancing?

TIA,
DAve
