[AusNOG] Do Optus layer 2 services - services support LACP?

[Tony Miles]

Generically I would suggest that trying to run LACP over a carrier link is
not the best idea. LACP is intended as link aggregation for the two devices
that are directly connected together and so LACP packets are usually
interpreted as "local" only. Most gear will give you the option to tunnel
L2 control packets, but only on a P2P type service. Optus might work
depending on product and configuration, I suspect nbn will never work.

What are you trying to achieve and are there other options you should
consider instead ?
