Installing and Configuring the EVGA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard
Teaming
NVIDIA Teaming technology improves network throughput by distributing
traffic efficiently across all available Ethernet interfaces. In normal network
conditions, both transmit and receive traffic are distributed.
NVIDIA Teaming technology also improves network uploading time. If one of
the physical Ethernet interfaces fails, the network can remain accessible because
the remaining interface can take over the network traffic of the failed interface,
achieving "fault tolerance". The operating system and network application do
not detect a network failure because network connection is bound to the logical
interface rather than to a single physical interface.
By utilizing the multiple interfaces on an NVIDIA nForce system and load
balancing traffic among them, network users can gain fault tolerance and
achieve greater throughput.
The Adjust Teaming Configuration screen has tow radio buttons:
Combine my network adapters (recommended)
NVIDIA Teaming technology combines two or more NVIDIA Ethernet
interfaces to increase your network bandwidth and also provides load
balancing and fault tolerance benefits.
Do not combine my network adapters (no teaming)
This is also the default setting. You may want to disable network adapter
teaming if your system is not operating as a file server. When disabled, each
NVIDIA Ethernet interface works independently.
