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.
 
Cheers
Dan

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 using Proset for about a year in the Fault
tolerance configuration with no 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?
