11*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  The purpose of the Team driver is to provide a mechanism to
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  team multiple NICs (ports) into one logical one (teamdev) at
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  L2 layer. The process is called "channel bonding", "Ethernet
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  bonding", "channel teaming", "link aggregation", etc.
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  Team tries to provide similar functionality as the bonding
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  driver, however architecturally it is quite different. Team is
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  modular, userspace driven, very lean and efficient, and it
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  does have some distinct advantages over bonding. The way Team
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  is configured differs dramatically from the way bonding is.
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun
22*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  If building the kernel with Buildroot, basic team support is
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  automatically enabled, but you will still need to enable the
24*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  modes you need, e.g. activebackup or loadbalance (e.g. with a
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  config fragment or a custom config).
