The spec is 802.3AD. Compaq calls it SLB (switch assisted load
balancing). This lets the switch SEND to either NIC. On non 802.3AD
swithces, the most you can hope for is TLB (transmit load balancing). This
pretty much means that one NIC will do all the receiving, but both can
send.

I guess that's what I'm trying to clear up. Our network guys are telling
me
that we can do it on our switches as long as our Nic cards support
multi-link trunking whatever the hell that is. I can't even tell you what
types of switches/routers we use. I guess I was looking for a document
that
would explain the ins and outs of teaming/load balancing from both the
switch side and the server side.

Let us not forget the teaming only works with certain switches/routers.
Not all brands (such as Cabletron/Enterasys) provide full teaming
fucntionality.

Hi Andrew,
Teaming is virtual joining of two or more network cards (usually of the
same type) to form a virtual redundant NIC which provides in theory the
throughput of all the NIC's combined.
Depending on what your goal is - you might want to consider NLBS (Network
Load Balancing Service) which is shipped with Windows Advanced Server. It
allows you to create a virtual IP address across many servers - usually
used for IIS environments.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Steven

Subject: [THIN] Compaq Network Card Teaming
Does anybody have a link to a detailed explanation of what you need
to implement this? We have several models of Compaq server DL580,
Proliant 5500,Proliant 2500,DL380,DL580,ML570 etc. etc. etc?.
I would like to test teaming on our ML570 with NC31XX cards
installed. I need a document that describes network teaming, anybody
know where I can find it. I have searched www.compaq.com or is it
www.hp.com, I guess it depends on which document you want to look at.
Anyway, any info would be helpful. I am just doing a little research
before the network guys get involved.
Thanks
Andrew
