[-- Attachment #1 --] I haven't played with lagg+vlan+bridge, but I briefly evaluated XL710 boards last year (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2015-October/043584.html) and saw very poor throughputs and latencies even in very simple setups. As far as I could figure it out, TSO/LRO wasn't being performed (although enabled) and so I ran into packet-rate issues. I basically gave up and went with a different vendor. FWIW, the XL710 boards in the same machines booted into Linux performed fine.
