Cisco IOS offers two link-layer efficiency mechanisms—Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) for Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLP) and Compressed Real-Time Protocol (CRTP) header—that work with queuing and traffic shaping to improve the efficiency and predictability of the application service levels.
This chapter gives a brief introduction to these link-layer efficiency mechanisms described in the following sections:
Link Fragmentation and Interleaving
CRTP Header
Interactive traffic such as Telnet and Voice over IP is susceptible to increased latency when the network processes large packets such as LAN-to-LAN File Transfer Protocol (FTP) transfers traversing ...
