ISDN Bandwidth Capabilities of Windows NT 
Article ID: Q133704
Revision Date: 04-AUG-1995

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
 - Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51

SUMMARY 

PPP Multilink Protocol (PPP MP) is a technology that provides 
up to 128 kilobytes per second (kb/s) wire speeds on a single 
ISDN line by combining two B-channel calls. Each B-channel 
provides a 64 kb/s link. 

Although Microsoft does not support the multilink protocol on any 
of our currently released products, it is possible to achieve 
approximately 128 kb/s from a Windows NT RAS client to a Windows 
NT RAS server using Channel Aggregation. 

MORE INFORMATION 

Channel Aggregation is a proprietary method designed by Digi 
International (the makers of Digiboard) that allows speeds 
greater than 64 kb/s using 2 B- channels. To attempt to use 
speeds greater than 64kb/s, you can modify the phone book entry 
by editing the entry, choosing the ISDN button, and entering 2 
in the Channels to Use category. 

For more technical information on the PPP Multilink Protocol, 
see RFC 1717. This RFC can be found on the World Wide Web at:
