What is NIC Teaming (Network Bonding) Or Link Aggregation? | Configure NIC Teaming in Linux
=====
In computer networking, the term link aggregation refers to various methods of combining (aggregating) multiple network connections in parallel in order to increase throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, and to provide redundancy in case one of the links should fail. A link aggregation group (LAG) is the collection of physical ports combined together.

NIC teaming is the process of combining multiple network cards together for performance, load balancing, and redundancy reasons. Use NIC teaming to group two or more physical NICs into a single logical network device called a bond. NIC teaming is also called as Load Balancing FailOver (LBFO), bandwidth aggregation, traffic failover, and so on.

Benefits of NIC teaming

NIC teaming helps in:

Load balancing — Traffic is automatically load balanced based on destination address between the available physical NICs.

Fault tolerance — If one of the underlying physical NICs is broken or its cable is unplugged, server/target host detects
the fault condition and automatically move traffic to another NIC in the bond.

Teaming Terminologies
Before we roll our sleeves, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the following terminologies:

Teamd – This is the nic teaming daemon that uses the libteam library to communicate with team devices via the Linux kernel.

Teamdctl– This is a utility that allows users to control an instance of teamd. You can check and change the port status, as
well as switch between backup and active states.

Runner – These are units of code written in JSON and are used for the implementation of various NIC teaming concepts.
Examples of runner modes include Round robbin, load balancing, broadcast, and active backup.
