I have a similar configuration with two wireless links using RouterOS 
(Mikrotik) running at routers and netstream-dual option, in this case 
link  1 only transport data from router A to B and link 2 transports 
data from router B to A (L2), creating a real full-duplex wireless 
connection between router A and B.

I am thinking to make something better then netstream-dual, using lagg 
interface with lacp protocol to get more throughput when transporting 
data from router A to B.

I will try to do something like full-duplex by now with two wireless 
links using statics routes (L3), so all data from A to B pass through  
link 1 and all data from B to A pass through link 2.

I would like to do balanced traffic across the two wireless links with 
the greatest total speed from A to B. Reading man lagg I can do this, 
but I didn't have success.

Paulo.
