I was testing with iperf to and from two other machines on the network.

If I tested with one machine I got 1g throughput, with 2 machines I
got ~500Mbps on each, for both inbound and outbound on em1.

== laggproto lacp + channel-group 2 mode active ==
Got the same with both inbound and outbound connection

== laggproto fec + channel-group 2 mode on ==
Got the same with both inbound and outbound connection

== laggproto loadbalance + channel-group 2 mode on ==
Got the same with both inbound and outbound connection

== laggproto roundrobin + channel-group 2 mode on ==,
Instead of 1Gbps throughput on one interface I get 500Mbps on each for
outbound only still no change with inbound.

Any other ideas?
