The most simple mode is an active/passive failover. The active link is used for sending and only when it fails(*) the other link is used. (*) Failure is detected either by looking at the carrier status or by sending arp probes to a configured peer. agr(4) doesn't seem to support this. Packets are distributed over all links, either round-robin or by selecting a link based on a hash of the packet.
