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 SLB 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.
