Title : An Enhanced Multi-Link PPP with low overhead suitable
for multiple
scalable bandwidth links

This document proposes a new architecture for providing an enhanced way
of fragmenting PPP protocol frames which is self-scalable to operate
over a wide range of multiple links ranging from low-bitrate, sub-T1
line to very high speed SDH hierarchy. The scheme provides a relatively
low overhead for fragmentation procedure and can scale very well to
accommodate multiple and diverse types of communication links operating
at different speed. In addition, the generated data fragments are
distributed to the multiple communication links according to their QoS
that maximize the real time utilization of the links.
This proposal is not intended to limit the scope of functions and
procedures described in RFC 1990[1]. This proposal solicits a new type
of fragmentation procedure that can be used along with other functions
and features described in the RFC 1990.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
