Hi All,

I am working on a 10Gb Ethernet driver for FreeBsd 8.2. When I enable link a=
ggregation using LACP mode on two ports of our card, I expected load to be b=
alanced on two ports(both are up). But interestingly traffic is flowing on o=
nly one interface.=20

If I administratively bring down the interface on which traffic is flowing, I=
 see lot of packet loss for about 30 secs, After that it picks up.

I think this is not expected. Are there any known issues with FreeBsd 8.2 ?

Thanks,
Naresh.=
