Setting Up Adaptive Load Balancing
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a simple and efficient way to increase your server’s transmit throughput. With ALB you group PRO/100+ adapters in teams to provide an increased transmit rate (up to 400 Mbps) using a maximum of four adapters. The ALB software continuously analyzes transmit loading on each adapter and balances the rate across the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for ALB also provide the benefits of AFT. Receive rates remain at 100 Mbps.
To use ALB, you must have two, three, or four PRO/100+ adapters configured as a team in your server or workstation and linked to the same network switch.
