I had this problem with igb driver, and I found, that lagg selects
outgoing interface based on packet header flowid field if M_FLOWID field
is set. And in the igb driver code flowid is set as
#if __FreeBSD_version >= 800000
<------><------><------>rxr->fmp->m_pkthdr.flowid = que->msix;
<------><------><------>rxr->fmp->m_flags |= M_FLOWID;
#endif
The same thing in em driver with MULTIQUEUE
That does not give enough number of flows to balance traffic well, so I
commented check in if_lagg.c
lagg_lb_start(struct lagg_softc *sc, struct mbuf *m)
{
<------>struct lagg_lb *lb = (struct lagg_lb *)sc->sc_psc;
<------>struct lagg_port *lp = NULL;
<------>uint32_t p = 0;
//<---->if (m->m_flags & M_FLOWID)
//<----><------>p = m->m_pkthdr.flowid;
//<---->else
and with this change I have much better load distribution across interfaces.
Hope it helps.
