Binding LAN ports in Server 2016
Hello - we have noticed that when we bind our 4 ports together to achieve 4GB speed on our Server 2016, and then perform a speed test with a network utility, that the results are slower for some reason. Are there settings or some type of trick to allowing for faster speed to actually be achieved through a binded network interface?

Oh - yes correct, NIC teaming is what I'm referring to. Ok - so it sounds like it is more of a load balancing and failover measure, and not a performance booster. Sean mentioned seeing improvement with multiple targets. Could that also apply to multiple users hitting the SQL Server simultaneously for data requests? So if 4 NICs are in the TEAM, then those 4 requests could be served simultaneously at full speed?
Thanks guys

understood. thanks very much
Depending on how the trunk is configured at both server and switch, management overhead might reduce the performance for a single target.
You should see a performance improvement if you test against more than one (max. 4) targets simultanously.
