Yes, it is possible. However, this could lead to impaired load balancing. It can be useful on testbeds, to simulate more than two routers using just two routers, but it does not have any obvious real-world value. All links which go to a common peer must be put in the same bundle. By definition, a bundle is the set of links that are going to a particular peer. A “peer” is identified by the Username and Endpoint Discriminator values that it offers during LCP and authentication phases. If you are trying to create multiple bundles between two routers, then it means you are trying to make each router masquerade as being more than a single peer to its counterpart. They must identify themselves appropriately.
