You've got a loop in your Ethernet network and spanning tree is
disabled.
The surprising bit is that you manage to get any packets through at all.
Ethernet packets don't have a TTL field, so if they end up in a loop
(for example br0 -> eth0 -> LAN -> eth1 -> br0 -> ...) they just keep
getting repeated.
brctl br0 stp on should fix your network.
I suspect you're trying to do bonding though, which (as far as I know,
having never played with it myself) is configured completely differently
and might require support from the switch.
Regards,
Kristof
