Is there a reason NG_PPP_MAX_BANDWIDTH is limited to a total of 10 Mbit?
If any of the links are faster than 10 Mbit, will i achieve same end 
result by dividing Bandwidth by say 10? That is, for every 10 Mbit 
physical link i configure ng_ppp to 1 Mbit?
Or could i change the constant to the equivalent of 100 Mbit/s without 
the risk of breaking anything?

The reason i ask is I noticed in ng_ppp.c (1.70.2.3) in function 
ng_ppp_mp_strategy(..) that ng_ppp also takes into account queued 
packets and the additional latency that would implicate.
