Note that the load spreading is _currently_ done on a per-peer basis,
so if you have multiple connections to the same remote node, you
generally won't get load spreading among those connections.

Even if we change this implementation detail at some point in the
future (which is quite possible), you won't get load spreading within
a single flow (e.g., a single TCP/IP stream) due to reordering
concerns.  (That's also true for aggregations.)

I'm a bit confused by that.

This may well work, but if aggregation is possible, I would have
expected that it would be possible at both ends.
