I was contacted by my NOC to investigate a LAG that was not distributing

I don't know how well-known this is, and it may not be something many people would want to do, but Enterasys switches, now part of Extreme's portfolio, allow "round-robin" as a load-sharing algorithm on LAGs.

see e.g.

This may not be the only product line supporting this.
