Yes, if you have a sufficient number of flows adaptive should help; seems like 
the perfect use case.

Subject: [j-nsp] RSVP signaled LSPs across LACP bundles

Hi all,

Quick question for those who might have run across this.

I have a 4x10Gb backbone based on Juniper MX routers. The 10Gb interfaces are 
LAG'd with LACP using the default layer4 hash. It works wonderfully under 
normal conditions.

I'm using RSVP to signal dedicated LSPs for a bunch of pseudowires/l2circuits 
across our network.  The bandwidth for a few of these pseudowires is as high as 
10Gbps.

When one of the 10Gb LSPs starts to get close to 9.4 or 9.5 Gbps of 
utilization, we start to see other customer traffic drop, RTT latency increase 
etc. The 10Gb flow starts to drop packets as well.

The cause appears to be obvious: the 10G flow is getting hashed onto one of my 
four links in the LACP bundle, and there it stays (it's a single TCP session). 
Any other customer traffic that is unlucky enough to be hashed onto that link 
contends with that mammoth flow and everyone loses.

I'm trying to find a way to work around this and looking for ideas.
Per-packet spray hashing is not an option. Would adaptive load balancing help? 
Something else? I'm trying to avoid the scenario where I have to dedicate 
specific 10Gb links just for these bursty psuedowires in order to protect other 
traffic. That seems regressive, although the remainder of this customer traffic 
*would* handily fit on a 30Gb LACP bundle.
