LACP doesn't actively load balance its interfaces. On FreeBSD 11 man lagg(4) says: The driver currently supports the aggregation protocols failover (the default), lacp, loadbalance, roundrobin, broadcast, and none. with roundrobin Distributes outgoing traffic using a round-robin scheduler through all active ports and accepts incoming traffic from any active port.
