Configuring IP Networks for Real-Time Voice Traffic
6
Release 12.0(7)XK
Note Multilink PPP should not be used on links greater than 2 Mbps.
Multilink PPP support for interleaving can be configured on virtual templates, dialer interfaces, and
ISDN BRI or PRI interfaces. To configure interleaving, you need to complete the following tasks:
• Configure the dialer interface or virtual template, as defined in the relevant chapters of the
Cisco IOS 12.0 Dial Solutions Configuration Guide.
• Configure Multilink PPP and interleaving on the interface or template.
To configure Multilink PPP and interleaving on a configured and operational interface or virtual
interface template, use the following commands in interface mode:
For more information about Multilink PPP, refer to the “Configuring Media-Independent PPP and
Multilink PPP” chapter in the Dial Solutions Configuration Guide.
Multilink PPP Configuration Example
The following example defines a virtual interface template that enables Multilink PPP with
interleaving and a maximum real-time traffic delay of 20 milliseconds, and then applies that virtual
template to the Multilink PPP bundle:
interface virtual-template 1
ppp multilink
encapsulated ppp
ppp multilink interleave
ppp multilink fragment-delay 20
ip rtp priority 16384 16383 25
multilink virtual-template 1
Configuring RTP Header Compression
Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP)isusedforcarrying packetized audio trafficoveran IP network.
RTP header compression compresses the IP/UDP/RTP header in an RTP data packet from 40 bytes
to approximately 2 to 4 bytes (most of the time), as shown in Figure 1.
This compression feature is beneficial if you are running Voice over IP over slow links. Enabling
compression on both ends of a low-bandwidth serial link can greatly reduce the network overhead if
there is a lot of RTP traffic on that slow link.
Typically, an RTP packet has a payload of approximately 20 to 160 bytes for audio applications that
use compressed payloads. RTP header compression is especially beneficial when the RTP payload
size is small (for example, compressed audio payloads between 20 and 50 bytes).
Step Command Purpose
1 router(config-if)# ppp multilink Enable Multilink PPP.
2 router(config-if)# ppp multilink interleave Enable real-time packet interleaving.
3 router(config-if)# ppp multilink fragment-delay
milliseconds
Optionally, configure a maximum fragment delay.

belonging to a range of UDP destination ports
