Ok, let me date myself now...
Way back on GX (version 10) and the original cDOT of 8.0, there actually was no process to create ifgrps and the only choice you had was to do the failover groups...
I think 8.1 introduced LACP.

We take advantage of this when we don't have enough network connectivity to ensure proper redunancy, but still use ifgrps whenever possible. It makes the load balancing less involved- if you use failover groups, you need to try and spread your LIFs around, but if you have an ifgrp, you just tie together all the physical interfaces and then make all your LIFs' home there.

Interesting thread....
A peer suggested recently that in cDOT failover groups could be used instead of ifgrps for availability. It was suggested as it simplifies the configuration (don't have ifgrps and failover groups) and means a LIF can failover to any port in the cluster (depending on type of LIF of course) rather than just the ports on the node.
Not considering throughput has anyone else heard of or considered this configuration?
Thanks Martin
