There is play and rough housing done in normal interaction but it is not and there is to my knowledge not a thing called aggressive play.
It is either play with a proper, play bow and just loud and growls in play with respect to each member playing and switching back and further as to who is the lead dog and who is not.
A dogs in play looks nothing like a dog in attack or aggeressive mode.

It is aggeresion if it is "bully behaviour" by one dog on another to hurt or control the whole of what is going on ,resource and clear the other dog out of it space.
When it switches from kind and gentle to lets hurt the other that is not play it is aggeresion.
