Multilink 2xE1 Status

[MAKhan]

Hi,

Would you please confirm if one of multilink E1 down out of four E1s; so can we still work with multilink E1 or whole link will be unavailable. What will be the performance affect or packet loss?

Best Regards

If you have a multilink bundle with 4 E1s and one of the E1s fails, the multilink should converge and carry the traffic on the remaining 3 links. Since you have lost 25 percent of your capacity you would expect to see some performance impact. Exactly what impact would depend on the load being carried over the link.
