Nicolas,
  as for tests:
  MII link monitoring kills the whole transfer, when in ARP mode 
monitoring - it still works, but there is asymmetric load striping on 
bond slaves(one slave is overloaded, two other - about 50-60% badwidnth 
utilized.
Just as a summary - balance-rr behaves like patched 802.3ad when using 
arp monitoring mode, but there is quite asymmetric load striping and 
quite a monstrous configuration on switch and server sides.
