Subject: 802.3ad bonding brain damaged?

- From Documentation/networking/bonding.txt:
Additionally, the linux bonding 802.3ad implementation
distributes traffic by peer (using an XOR of MAC addresses),
This is counter to the entire point of 802.3ad. Distributing traffic by
hash of the destination address is poor mans load balancing for systems
not supporting 802.3ad. When in 802.3ad mode, packets are supposed to
be queued to whichever interface has the shortest tx length so a single
stream to a single host can be balanced across all links instead of
being restricted to one, while the other is idle.
