DI-206 ISDN Remote Router Items in the Multi-Link PPP Configuration window are described as follows: Bandwidth on Demand – Enables or disables BOD. When enabled, BOD will manage the implementation of MLPPP using the parameters defined in this window. BOD Criteria – Either TX, RX or TX+RX, where TX is Transmit and RX is Receive.
Page 120
DI-206 ISDN Remote Router Subtract Bandwidth Delay (sec) – (0 to 300) The amount of time in seconds the router will wait and sample the BOD Criteria before subtracting bandwidth once the throughput falls below the BOD Low Threshold. This prevents bandwidth from being unnecessarily subtracted due to temporary lulls in traffic.
