No it will actually exacerbate them. A lot of the "problems" of SLB
bonding are due to the SLB code trying to account for the fact that
the upstream switch is not aware it's participating in a bond.  If
this compensation wasn't made, the behavior would be significantly
worse. The bundle action doesn't do any compensation at all.  This can
cause severe problems leading to potentially black-holed traffic.
