Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Express teaming
Express teaming is a quick way to group all of the ports on a multi-port adapter into a
Receive Load Balancing (RLB) team. It will team all ports on the adapter.
1.2 Advanced Network Services (ANS) Teaming
Advanced Network Services (ANS) Teaming, a feature of the Advanced Network
Services component, lets you take advantage of multiple adapters in a system by
grouping them together. ANS teaming can use features like fault tolerance and load
balancing to increase throughput and reliability.
