The purpose of the Team driver is to provide a mechanism to
|
team multiple NICs (ports) into one logical one (teamdev) at
|
L2 layer. The process is called "channel bonding", "Ethernet
|
bonding", "channel teaming", "link aggregation", etc.
|
|
Team tries to provide similar functionality as the bonding
|
driver, however architecturally it is quite different. Team is
|
modular, userspace driven, very lean and efficient, and it
|
does have some distinct advantages over bonding. The way Team
|
is configured differs dramatically from the way bonding is.
|
|
If building the kernel with Buildroot, basic team support is
|
automatically enabled, but you will still need to enable the
|
modes you need, e.g. activebackup or loadbalance (e.g. with a
|
config fragment or a custom config).
