An administrator wants to ensure that user VMs on AHV hosts can use bandwidth available beyond a single adapter in a bond.
Which uplink Bond Type should the administrator configure to achieve this objective?
Active-Active, also known as LACP with balance-tcp, balances a VM NIC’s TCP and UDP sessions among the bonded adapters. This increases both host and VM NIC bandwidth utilization beyond the capacity of one physical adapter. Active-Active with MAC pinning can increase aggregate host utilization, but pins each VM NIC to a single adapter at a time.
