I'm running a channelized DS3 router in a POP that goes to a Mux and splits out T1's via MLPPP to different customer sites. Most customers are running between 2 - 4 T1's on their CPE. I have have five of these channelized DS3 routers in different markets around the country.
A common issue that all the customers seem to complain about is that while they can seem to utilize the full download bandwidth (for example, a 2xT1 customer can usually sustain a download at 2.9Mbps) the upload speed hover around 2.4Mbps and rarely will it ever increase.
I've done as much research as possible on MLPPP, associated overhead, and cannot find any logical explanation stating the SENDING (customer upload) will always be slightly less throughput than RECIEVING (customer download).
Does anyone have any information about this? I cannot seem to put my finger on it despite how much research I do. Does MLPPP SEND have more overhead than RECIEVE?
Thanks,
Mark
