    How does ppp deal with the link loss - does it notice immediately ? I
    would expect very little latency if it does as it should be able to just
    trash the existing queued data and continue using the other link.

    I guess other connections suffer the same problems -- it's not just squid ?

    It might be interesting doing a ``show mp'' or ``show bundle'' to determine
    what sort of packet queuing and reassembly is happening after the link is
    lost.

    If the queues are large, you might get slightly better performance by
    reducing the links mtu (set mtu max), but really, things should recover
    ok even with a ~1500 MTU.
