The goal of the NIC teaming services is to provide fault tolerance across a team of two or more ports on a
TCOSS server.
By NIC teaming more than one physical NIC to a logical NIC, high availability of a TCOSS server is
maximized. Even if one NIC (or cables) fails, the network connection does not cease and continues to
operate on other NICs.
