Provide as much detail as you can - if you're using hw flow control, whether 
both links act this way at the same time or independently, and so-on. Problems 
like this often boil down to a very small and seemingly insignificant detail.

I currently have ixgbe on the operating table for adding X550 support, so I can 
take a look at this; however I don't have your type of switches available to me 
so LACP-specific testing is something I can't do for you.
