Multilink and Link Services Interface Structure

Each Multilink Services or Link Services PIC can support a number of bundles. A bundle can contain up to eight individual links.

For Multilink Services PICs, the links can be T1, E1, or DS0 physical interfaces, and each link is associated with a logical unit number that you configure. For Link Services PICs, the links can be E1, T1, channelized DS3-to-DS1, channelized DS3-to-DS0, channelized E1, channelized STM1 interfaces, or channelized IQ interfaces. For MLFR FRF.16 bundles, each link is associated with a channel number that you configure.

You must configure a link before it can join a bundle. Each bundle should consist solely of one type of link; the mixing of physical interfaces of differing speeds within a bundle is not supported.

Note: On both J-series and M-series platforms, only one DS3 link is allowed in an MLFR bundle. MLPPP bundles can include two DS3 links.
