Well, power of two, surely? 6 is even, but is not a "good" number of 
links for a lag group.

(Extreme X8 supports up to 64 links in a group, and Enterasys up to 127 
if I recall correctly. Though Enterasys, unusually, seems to support 
round-robin load balancing in which case the argument for powers of 2 
numbers of links ceases to make sense.)
