Detailed description
The purpose of the Team driver is to provide a mechanism to team multiple NICs (ports) into one logical one (teamdev) at L2 layer. The process is called "channel bonding", "Ethernet bonding", "channel teaming", "link aggregation", etc.
The teaming kernel driver (see Features/TeamDriver) supersedes bonding but NetworkManager still supports only the legacy bonding driver (see Features/NetworkManagerBonding).
