NIC teaming

NIC teaming, also known as Load Balancing/Failover (LBFO) is a built-in feature of Windows Storage Server 2016. This feature allows fault-tolerance for your network adapters. NIC teaming allows multiple network adapters to work together as a team, preventing connectivity loss if one NIC stops functioning.
The advantage of built-in NIC teaming is that it works with all NICs and provides a set of management tools for all adapters. The outbound traffic can be distributed among the available network adapters by using Switch-independent mode and Switch-dependent mode for network traffic distribution.
