This is all pretty interesting, though it seems like you'd only need to cobble together a shell script to do what you're after. The ifconfig command seems happy to tell you the MAC address of a specified interface.. It seems like an already present prototyping environment for this type of configu

The crock in these trunking schemes is all the trouble and effort expended to avoid re-ordering frames across the trunk bundle. This is why you see things like the hashing techniques so that an individual flow of traffic doesn't get reordered because it always is serialized over the a single pat
