MPLS Multilink PPP Support in a CSC Network
The figure below shows a typical Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Carrier Supporting Carrier (CSC) network where Multilink PPP (MLP) is configured on the CSC customer
edge (CE)-to-provider edge (PE) links.

The MPLS Multilink PPP Support feature supports MLP between CSC-CE and CSC-PE links with the Label
Distribution Protocol (LDP) or with external Border Gateway Protocol (eBGP) IPv4 label distribution. This
feature also supports link fragmentation and interleaving (LFI) for an MPLS VPN CSC configuration. The
figure below shows all MLP links that this feature supports for CSC configurations.
