I was looking at esxtop on my 5.5 host and I see this process net-lacp running. I'm using standard vswitches, I'm diagnosing network performance issues and I wonder if its related to this?

This is the LACP process for VMware vSphere Distributed Switches.
It is not the cause of your network woes.

@thedave That doesn't matter. It's the same ESXi regardless of licensing level.– ewwhiteMar 19, 2014 at 20:06

LACP isn't just used for distributed switches. Link Aggregation Control Protocl is used for NIC teaming/failover, which this process monitors/manages as well if I'm not mistaken. NIC teaming is a standard feature of ESX which explains why this process would be running on your installation. Again though, this is most likely not the cause of your network issue.
