FIGURE 8.6 FIRST INCOMING CONNECTION OF A MULTICHASSIS PPP CIRCUIT
The RAS that receives the second connection from the same ISDN modem (shown in Figure 8.7), has already
been informed by the broadcast message that the first RAS has the primary link. The connection is set up as a
secondary link with this RAS (IP 200.200.200.3 in the example) as the slave. The information is not sent directly
to its final destination. Rather, the packets are sent to the master RAS where they are joined with packets sent
through other physical links before being forwarded to their final destination.
