  • Network interface connection teaming system
    Patent number: 9838342
    Abstract: A network connection teaming system includes a processing system coupled to a memory system in an IHS chassis. The memory system is operable to receive instruction that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide an operating system (OS). At least one network interface controller (NIC) including a plurality of network connections is located in the IHS chassis and coupled to the processing system. The NIC(s) are not directly visible to an OS provided to by the processing system. A NIC teaming controller is coupled between the processing system and the NIC(s). The NIC teaming controller includes a plurality of hardware connections that are configurable to team the plurality of network connections included on the NIC(s) to provide at least one teamed network connection. An OS provided by the processing system is presented the at least one teamed network connection by the NIC teaming controller.
