MLT
MLT links are designed for interfacing with the metallic loop testing switch application
found in telephone switch networks. This application consists of proprietary messages
transported using LAPB. The MLT link type enables the transporting of proprietary
messages across an IP network. LAPB is terminated on AI296 and the data is
transported to a remote end point using another transport protocol, such as TCP/IP.

Synchronous PPP
Synchronous PPP links use PPP (point-to-point protocol) and synchronized
transmission. They can provide clocking or synchronize with an external clock.
Synchronous PPP links support PAP and CHAP for authentication and can be set as
bridged (BCP) or routed (IPCP) interfaces.
