I recently bonded two T1 circuits together using ppp multilink. I am now seeing the following output from a "show interface" command:
sh int multi 1
Multilink1 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is multilink group interface
Internet address is xx.xx.xx.xx/30
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 3072 Kbit, DLY 100000 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 23/255, rxload 51/255
Encapsulation PPP, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
DTR is pulsed for 2 seconds on reset
LCP Open, multilink Open

How do I interpret this line?
Input queue: 0/75/9694/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 50009
It seems to indicate both input and output drops, but I'm not sure I'm reading this right. Also, should I adjust input or output queue size to help fix the problem?
Thanks for any suggestions.
