Not sure if that could help someone, but reading the spec sheet of the Marwell, the 10Gb ports are rated as uplink for stacking or cascading providing up to 48 non blocking ports. So I think it was designed to let pass 10x 1Gb without much issue but not to provide decent downscaling support from 10G...

No prob, you may bond your EoIP bridges running over L2TP.
Given the limitations of the bonding and MLPPP, this is one of the only setup that is working.
