for the same stream over the same link to avoid reordering. So yes, it does
interoperate.

Examining the source code to ng_fec, in ng_fec_output(), it uses the IP address to form the hash to pick the port. This is the same behaviour
that 802.3ad specifies, and yields good behaviour since:
a: it works in routed environments as well as local area
b: packets are not reordered within L4 sessions.
However, cisco seems to imply they use a hash based on MAC:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/techno/media/lan/ether/channel/prodlit/f
aste_an.htm
for some devices (e.g. a cat5000).
Others (e.g. cat7500, cat8500) use L3 as ng_fec does.
Yet others use SA based distribution (e.g. the cat1900, 2820).
Does the ng_fec interoperate with the L2 only devices of cisco?
