Correct.. 

There are two bandwidth definitions used by mpd.. one used for
multilink fragmentation computations (and then only if you have
>= 2 links that are not all the same), and the one used during PPTP
call setup. The latter is completely ignored, while the former is
ignored 99% of the time.. the ther 1% being the case mentioned.
