Additionally, the linux bonding 802.3ad implementation
distributes traffic by peer (using an XOR of MAC addresses),
so in a "gatewayed" configuration, all outgoing traffic will
generally use the same device. Incoming traffic may also end
up on a single device, but that is dependent upon the
balancing policy of the peer's 8023.ad implementation. In a
"local" configuration, traffic will be distributed across the
devices in the bond.

Finally, the 802.3ad mode mandates the use of the MII monitor,
therefore, the ARP monitor is not available in this mode.
