Which of the following is a benefit of failover NIC teaming?

Failover NIC teaming(Network Interface Card teaming) is a method used to providefaulttoleranceby combining two or more NICs into a single logical interface. If one NIC fails, the other NIC(s) take over, ensuring continuous network connectivity.

Increased fault tolerance (Answer D):The primary benefit of failover NIC teaming is to ensure that network communication is not interrupted when one NIC fails. The remaining NICs take over to maintain uptime.

Decreased latency (Option A):NIC teaming is not primarily used to reduce latency; it’s focused on redundancy and fault tolerance.

Increased transmission size (Option B):NIC teaming does not directly increase the size of transmissions.

Increased system resources (Option C):NIC teaming doesn’t increase system resources like CPU or memory, but it ensures network redundancy.
