Understanding Network Bonding

Network bonding (also known as NIC teaming) is the process of combining two or more network interfaces together into a single logical interface. This can be done for two main reasons:

• Fault Tolerance: If one network interface fails, traffic will automatically failover to the other active interface, preventing a loss of connectivity.
• Increased Bandwidth: By combining multiple interfaces, you can increase the total available bandwidth for your server.

Configuration is typically done using tools like `nmcli` or by editing network configuration files in `/etc/netplan/` or `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/` depending on your Linux distribution.
