Is it possible to reliably bond two 1G ports between a CRS and Wisp Switch for 2G uplink? What protocol works between the devices best for bonding?

We support Static and LACP LAG but you do realize that does NOT create a 2G pipe it create a 2 lane 1 G pipe.

Meaning on a single stream you can achieve no more than 1G but if you have 2G of traffic the switch will load balance across them.

THIS IS THE WAY LACP AND STATIC LAG WORKS, this is not our limitation but the protocol STANDARD.

There is no real difference between Static and LACP other than LACP is more automated and if the manufacturer implements it correctly (and we do) an LACP LAG will work if 1 or more of the bonded ports drop out and recover if you restore them.

Example if you set up 2 of our switches with say 4 ports bonded together with LACP you can unplug 1, and then 2, and then 3 and traffic continues and then you can plug them back in 1 at a time where as some switches will drop out or take a while to renegotiate our routine does it smoothly

I am pretty sure MT supports both methods.

That should be fine. So no way to make 1 virtual pipe? That's ok. Which protocol works best with mikrotik and is easy and reliable?
