Active-Active
Also known as LACP with balance-tcp

LACP and link aggregation required. Increases host and VM bandwidth utilization beyond a single 10 Gb adapter by balancing VM NIC TCP and UDP sessions among adapters. Also used when network switches require LACP negotiation.

The default LACP settings are:

Speed—Fast (1s)
Mode—Active fallback-active-backup
Priority—Default. This is not configurable.
