Do you think it will be possible in the future to allow MLPPP with L2TP / PPTP as well ? I see in the newsletter it will be supported for PPPoE for now. Great job guys, thanks!

Thx,
Sam

A huge 'great job' coming from me too... It has arrived just in time as I am needing it for a setup I'm building.
Newsletter says it is only supported in PPPoE client, does this mean I cannot use MLPPP with the MT PPPoE Server?

Unfortunately the link is to number 9, not the latest number 10. What happened to the subscription sign-up for the newsletters?

never was any. it just goes to your mikrotik.com account server email. if you unsubscribed at some point, just email to support with your login name

I still question if MLPPP is supported by PPPoE servers as well.... or do we need to replace our MT-based PPPoE servers with some other flavour to get ML-PPPoE?

Now you can specify more than one interface in pppoe-client. No bridges needed!

Wow, well very cool! I just tested MLPPP on 3.10, and by golly it works!

Since RouterOS doesn't yet have MLPPP support in the PPPoE server, I set up a Cisco 2620 running IOS 12.3(17a) (C2600-TELCO-M) in order to test with, and configured three VLANs on it with PPPoE servers running on all of them and with multilink enabled. RouterOS 3.10 running on an RB333 established three sessions across each of the VLANs and both sides successfully multilinked them!

It's not perfect yet, but I'm impressed! That was fast progress!

There are a few warts/bugs with RouterOS's MLPPP, as is to be expected. It establishes the connections just fine, but it doesn't seem to yet elegantly deal with interruptions to any of the individual sessions. Sometimes it works, sometimes it takes a while for it to adjust, and sometimes it never recovers (I managed at one point to crash the entire PPP client system...I couldn't make it establish a PPPoE connection until after a reboot, multilinked or not! Don't worry, I made a SUPOUT!).

I will put together a more formal test suite over the next few days and open tickets with MikroTik Support as necessary to get the bugs ironed out.

Thanks, MikroTik! Now, moving on to MLPPP support in RouterOS's PPPoE server... :)

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention...at first I thought it didn't work, but then I tried it again and discovered that it did: if you are not connecting to a MLPPP server, you can still use the multiple interfaces feature of the PPPoE client as a failover system! RouterOS will establish a PPPoE connection to the first one in the list, and then if that connection dies, it will re-connect over the second interface, and so on! Very cool.

Could you please share your relevent Cisco configuration? I would like to be able to do this as well, we are terminating our DSL PPPOE on a Cisco 7206VXR :)

Has anyone made this successfully work with Cisco IOS as the PPPoE server?

I would very much like to provide 'bonded dsl' service over multiple DSL links, but I have not been able to successfully configure my Cisco router to accept multiple PPPoE sessions.

I was just doing some expermenting, and noticed that there is a lack of information in the logs about MLPPP errors. enableing multiple interfaces, if one interface connects, yet the other interface is unable, it does not log anything, it simply sits there with only one active session.

by enableing full PPPoE logging, I still was not able to tell anything really usefull
