When copying a 2GB file on a Multilink that has 5942 Kb available only uses 1.5Kb

hi
Thanks for ur remarks
But I still think that MLP fragments the packet by default to packet size / no of link
Quote from Cisco
IP Telephony Self-Study

chapter :Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (page:488)
MLP, by its very nature, fragments packets
MLP always fragments PPP frames to load balance traffic equitably and to avoid out-of-order
packets. Notice that the 1500-byte packet was fragmented into three 500-byte fragments, one for
each link. By default, MLP fragments each packet into equal-sized fragments, one for each link.
Suppose, for instance, that two links were active; the fragments would have been 750 bytes long. If
four were active, each fragment would have been 375 bytes long. And yes, even the 100-byte packet
would be fragmented, with one fragment being sent over each link.
The other point you should consider about basic MLP, before looking at MLP LFI configuration, is
that the multiple links appear as one link from a Layer 3 perspective. In the figures, R1 and R2 each
have one IP address that applies to all three links. To configure these details, most of the interface
subcommands normally entered on the physical interface are configured somewhere else, and then
applied to each physical interface that will comprise part of the same MLP bundle.
let me If I have make a mistake to understand the topic

Right I know it should, but I don't think it is. Should I upgrade to 12.4T?

Vinay,
Thanks for sharing the source of your information. It may be very well correct. It appears logical that by default, fragmentation is made dividing packet size by number of links.
However in this case nothing seems to help and perhaps we are going around and around because of some reason that nobody yet has been able to identify.

Possible client BDP issue? What type of clients are transfering the 2GB file and what's the latency between them?
