When a user logs onto Interaction Media Server for the first time, the HP Network Configuration
Utility automatically creates a Network Fault Tolerant NIC (Network Interface Controller) team
using all available NICs for the particular server. Interaction Media Server teams available NICs to
provide redundancy for reliability purposes if a network link fails.
Note: An Interaction Center Media Server, or any server that deals with real time audio across the
network, may only use certain forms of adapter teaming. Some vendors may use varying terms for
different teaming models, but the basic rule is that only fault-tolerant configurations are supported.
Interactive Intelligence software does not support a teaming method that employs load balancing
due to increased jitter incidence in the RTP audio streams that Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
solutions use. The stream's assembly becomes less reliable, resulting in packet loss or latency as
the jitter buffer attempts to handle out of sequence packets. The only teaming type to use for
audio and signaling is a fault tolerant type.
You can view NIC teams in the HP Network Configuration Utility (NCU).
