You're considering how to organize your network adapters on the server. It depends on your workload patterns. Splitting into two teams (two NICs each) could simplify management and allow better isolation, especially if you're handling host traffic separately from VM traffic. A single large team with shared vNICs might reduce overhead but could complicate performance tuning. Regarding throughput, Windows software teaming doesn't automatically provide aggregated speeds—configuring LACP or Etherchannel is often necessary for optimal results. Let me know if you'd like more details on those options.
