Question: multi link PPP using L2 PPP authenticated TC4 like with AAPT NWB?

Hi my question, is it possible to bond multiple L2 NBN TC4 links
acquired via an upstream wholesale aggregator such as AAPT.

Ideally I'd have multi link ppp CPE on customer site and our Layer 2 LNS
would either terminate the multi link ppp itself or multi hop it off to
another LNS that does.

My understanding is that the PPP of the individual links
in multi link isn't plain vanilla PPP, has additional packet headers,
  so the wholesaler, for instance AAPT, may not pass it on faithfully
only being primed to pass vanilla PPP and so it mayn't work.

Or is there a better way of doing this or no way?

Thoughts?

- Michael.
