Performance and Scalability for Single-VC MLP Over ATM-Based LFI
The following list describes how to enhance performance and scalability for Single-VC MLP over
ATM-based LFI:
•
Configure the following commands and recommended values on the virtual template interface:
–
ppp max-configure 110
–
ppp max-failure 100
–
ppp timeout retry 5
–
keepalive 30
•
Configure the
hold-queue
command in interface configuration mode for all physical interfaces,
except when configuring the ATM OC-12 line card. The OC-12 does not require the
hold-queue
command.
For more information, see the
“Scalability and Performance”
chapter in the

Restrictions and Limitations for Single-VC MLP Over ATM-Based LFI
•
Single-VC MLP over ATM member links are restricted to non-aggregated PVCs (for example,
variable bit rate-nonreal-time (VBR-nrt) and constant bit rate (CBR) ATM traffic classes only).
•
The multilink interface can have only one PPP link that is between 64 and 2048 kbps. The router
supports a maximum of one member link per bundle.
•
The router supports a maximum of 8192 bundles per system and a maximum of 8192 member links
per system.
•
The valid multilink interface values are 10,000 and higher.
•
Interleaving occurs on one member link.
•
MLP VCs cannot be on-demand VCs that are automatically provisioned.
•
Associating MLP over ATM VCs with ATM virtual paths (VPs) is discouraged, though not
prevented.
•
Cisco IOS software supports a maximum of 4096 total virtual template interfaces.
•
We strongly recommend that you use only strict priority queues when configuring MLP over
ATM-based LFI. For more information, see
Chapter 8, “Prioritizing Services.”
Line Card Support for MLP Over ATM-Based LFI
The following line cards support MLP over ATM-based LFI for the Cisco 10000 series router:
•
8-Port E3/DS3 ATM
•
4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM
•
1-Port OC-12 ATM
