[rbak-nsp] SE400 link aggregation problem with load balancing

[Ron Ripley]

Yes, old SEOS version.  LACP was introduced much later than 2.6.7

However, the hash should be source/dest IP, so a single (or a few) source/destination pair's will always pick one link, it will take 100's of pairs for the hashing algorithm to work for load balancing.
