I was actually leaning towards ALB because it says it can
increase throughput as well as be fault tolerant. However, there was a
disclaimer that in some cases using ALB could actually decrease throughput. I
assume you have found that to not be the case?
I use ALB with Intel adapters and also with
Broadcom.
It covers me for fault on the NIC, though if a switch goes
down then that's it as they need to be on the same switch. I have the switches
on UPS. Also always have a 'hot' switch configured so if a switch goes down I
just replace it. That's enough Fault cover and then I get the speed and use of
all the NICs, there's always a trade off but this way suits
us.

Does anyone use NIC teaming for speed vs fault
tolerance?
We switched to SFT
recently as IBM servers have an issue with AFT. The HP server work fine with
both and we have been using AFT on HP for almost 6 years.

Works well, I have been

issue's.

Is
anyone out there using the NIC teaming feature, specifically with Intel
Proset? If so, which setup are you using (ALB, SLA,AFT, etc) and have you
encountered any
issues?
