Windows NT Teaming
The Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet adapters provide the following options for increasing throughput
and fault tolerance when running Windows NT® 4.0.
Network Fault Tolerance (NFT). NFT provides the safety of an additional backup link between the
server and hub/switch. NFT is implemented with a Primary adapter and a Secondary (backup)
adapter(s). During normal operations, if the Primary adapter fails, the link to the Secondary adapter
automatically takes over.
Transmit Load Balancing (TLB). TLB creates a team of adapters to increase a server's throughput. If
you configure TLB, NFT is automatically configured. TLB works with any industry-standard 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX, or Gigabit switch. All transmit IP frames are load balanced among all team members
based on a Load Balancing algorithm in the teaming device driver. The Current Primary adapter
transmits all non-IP frames, and receives all frames for the team. If a failover event occurs, one of the
non-Primary adapters assumes the role of Current Primary adapter, and transmit IP packets are load
balanced among all remaining team members. If a failure occurs in any of the non-Primary adapters,
the packets are load balanced among all remaining team members.
To use TLB, you must have at least two NCxxxx adapters (ports) capable of the same speed and
linked to the same Layer 2 (Broadcast) switch installed in your server. They cannot be connected to
the same switch and/or be members of different VLANs.With TLB, as you add adapters to your
server, you can group them in teams to provide a single virtual adapter with increased transmission
bandwidth. For example, a TLB team containing four HP Fast Ethernet adapters configured for full-
duplex operation would provide an aggregate maximum transmit rate of 400 Mbps and a 100
Mbps receive rate resulting in a total bandwidth of 500 Mbps.
