Chapter 1 Overview
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.
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.
