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? ________________________________ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Daniel Ensor Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 7:55 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: NIC TEAMING 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.

The HP server work fine with both and we have been using AFT on HP for almost 6 years.
