[c-nsp] Link aggregation question

Hello,
I have 2 3560's that have dual links between them. Each link is
100mbps and I want to aggregate the bandwidth and have failover as well.
>From my read, most link aggregation will use mac addresses to hash and
determine which port to forward thru. I belive however I have the worst
case scenario since traffic IN will have 1500 different source macs but
1 destination, and traffic OUT will have 1 source mac and 1500
destination macs. Even worse, this traffic is PPPoE and not IP,
eliminating any sort of ip based selection criteria. This means, to my
read anyways, I would have course grained load sharing in 1 direction,
sort of defeating the point here. I was wondering if anyone had any
ideas for this platform and suggestions how I might get better
performance in this situation.
Thanks.
Mike-
