Dan,
What is bad about these modes that oVirt can't use them?
I can only quote jpirko's workds from the link above:
Do not use tlb or alb in bridge, never! It does not work, that's it. The reason
is it mangles source macs in xmit frames and arps. When it is possible, just
use mode 4 (lacp). That should be always possible because all enterprise
switches support that. Generally, for 99% of use cases, you *should* use mode
4. There is no reason to use other modes.
I just tested mode 4, and the LACP with Fedora 20 appears to not be
compatible with the LAG mode on my Dell 2824.
Would there be any issues with bringing two NICS into the VM and doing
balance-alb at the guest level?
