NOTE
Some limitations of the teaming functionality include:
 Teaming does not support iSCSI adapters.
 Teaming does not support NDIS adapters that are in the boot path.
 Teaming supports NDIS adapters that are not in the iSCSI boot
path, but only for the switch-independent NIC team type.
 Switch dependent teaming (IEEE 802.3ad LACP and
Generic/Static Link Aggregation (Trunking) cannot use a switch
independent partitioned virtual adapter. IEEE standards require
Switch Dependent Teaming (IEEE 802.3ad LACP and
Generic/Static Link Aggregation (Trunking)) mode to work per the
entire port instead of just the MAC address (fraction of a port)
granularity.
 Microsoft recommends using their in-OS NIC teaming service
instead of any adapter vendor-proprietary NIC teaming driver on
Windows Server 2012 and later.
