There is a fundamental difference in that all links in the aggregation share the same MAC address. DLMP is more like the (ancient) Network Adapter Failover (NAFO) where each link retains its own, unique MAC address. Yes, it is kinda funny that NAFO was crushed because it didn't do aggregation, but now that aggregation is determined to be sucky in some situations, NAFO is reborn as DLMP and it is suddenly cool again.
