AFT and ALB functions

ALB (Adaptive Load Balancing)

A transmit/receive bandwidth is provided at a maximum 4 Gbps
(when configured as 1 Gbps x 4) for a configuration with 2 to 4
network adapters balancing transmit/receive data flow.

The maximum transmit/receive bandwidth, while receiving also,
is the sum of the maximum bandwidth of each adapter that has
been configured when ALB is activated (default setting). The
maximum bandwidth of each adapter is the lesser of the
maximum bandwidth of either the adapter or the hub.

The ALB function also supports the AFT function.

You need a switching hub that supports 1000 BASE-T or 100
BASE-TX to use the ALB function.

When using on Windows Server 2003:
