> Just for the record:
> 1. dhcp on bonding adapter with 802.3ad is not going to work, use static one
> 2. modes 5,6 work both static and dhpc
> 3. mode 5 works pretty well across multiple switch units
> 4. mode 6 does not
> 5. 802.3ad reacts the most slowly, you have to set lacp_rate=fast and
> set switch LACP timeout to the lowest one.
> 6. mode 5 setting primary=eth0 - once eth0 is up, traffic goes to eth0
> back, without primary remains on the last adapter to run
> 7. and do not forget to use ETHTOOLS_OPT="speed 1000" on physical adapters
> 8. test done against DLINK DGS-3110-24 (modes 5,6,802.3ad) and one
> unmanaged switch (modes 5,6)
