    It is very important to understand the differences between the load-balancing methods when deploying HP ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming in an environment that requires load balancing of routed Layer 3 traffic. Because the methods use conversations to load balance, the resulting traffic may not be distributed equally across all ports in the team.
