Feature Overview
The Multilink Frame Relay feature is based on the Frame Relay Forum’s Multilink Frame Relay UNI
Implementation Agreement (FRF.16). This feature provides a cost-effective way to increase bandwidth
for certain applications by enabling multiple serial links to be aggregated into a single bundle of
bandwidth. Multilink Frame Relay is supported on User-to-Network Interface (UNI) networks.
