LACP == Link Aggregation Control Protocol - dynamic trunking - one of
the modes trunk(4) supports. And it's Cisco vs the rest of the world
where Cisco calls a trunk multiple VLANs over single physical
interface and the rest of the world calls a trunk multiple physical
interafces bundled together. We don't have to necessarily agree with
Cisco. Please keep the current name.
