HI Navdeep, Thanks for the information! I've integrated the changes and will be testing more today.
We have seen the LACP port flapping under different scenarios, most we believe are traffic/load based. I did see the flapping unexpectedly when I just enabled LACP debug (e.g., sysctl net.link.lagg.lacp.debug=1). Is this a known problem?

This is cxgbe specific but that's what you're using so it'll do. Add "hw.cxgbe.rsrv_noflowq=1" to your /boot/loader.conf. That reserves one tx queue for non-RSS traffic (like ARP, LACP). You might also want to increase the number of tx queues to compensate for the one that's now reserved. Use "hw.cxgbe.ntxq=9" for that. The ntxq knob might be different on 10.4 but the man page matching the driver should have its exact name.
