Abstract

See full text

In a point-to-point multilink bundle coupling two peers over a network, a simultaneous addition of a plurality of links may be performed using Bandwidth Allocation Protocol and Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol. When one peer desires to add more links to the multilink bundle, a request is sent to the other peer requesting the addition of the links and means for establishing the links, such as telephone numbers. In response, the second peer will respond with a message indicating the number of links the second peer is capable of adding along with the associated means for establishing these links.
