FreeBSD is looking for a LACPDU of exactly sizeof ( struct lacpdu ) which is 124 bytes. The TP-Link is sending a PDU of 128 bytes. I was hoping someone would know off hand what the spec says, if the PDU “should be” or “must be”. I’m assuming this is an error on TP-Link’s firmware, and will try to file a bug with them if I can get to the root of the issue. I’m assuming the Linux driver isn’t strict on the PDU size. If this was really an error on the FreeSBD side … someone should have stumbled over long before I did. > >> >> However, what I have also discovered this this switch is unlike FreeBSD >> which lagghash includes L4, the switch only seems to hash over SRC+DST IP or >> SRC+DST MAC.

Yeah, in the end, this research and experiment has proven to me that LAGG/LACP is not likely the correct solution for this project. 10g Ethernet would work well, even back-to-back, but even used this looks to be a bit pricey for home/hobby setup. I’m now looking towards Infiniband, as the cards and parts on the use market are a great value (but this is the wrong list for talking about that.) Thanks ! - David P.
