Re: PPP multilink help

It could very well be microburst in the flow creating congestion
as seen in the default class:

Which matches mostly to the default class. I don't recall if the per flow
queue limit kicks in without congestion or not.

You could try a few things:

a) remove WFQ in the default class
b) add a BW statement to it to allocate a dedicated amount
c) implement WRED in the class
d) remove WFQ in the default class

to see if one of those improves it.

btw, the overhead I was referring to was the additional MLPPP overhead
to each packet which reduces effective throughput.
