Smart Load Balancing and Failover
The Smart Load Balancing and Failover type of team provides both load
balancing and failover when configured for load balancing, and only failover when
configured for fault tolerance. This type of team works with any Ethernet switch
and requires no trunking configuration on the switch. The team advertises multiple
MAC addresses and one or more IP addresses (when using secondary IP
addresses). The team MAC address is selected from the list of load balance
members. When the system receives an ARP request, the software-networking
stack will always send an ARP Reply with the team MAC address. To begin the
load balancing process, the teaming driver will modify this ARP Reply by changing
the source MAC address to match one of the physical adapters.
