Package: libteam5 (1.26-1)

library for communication with Netlink kernel module

Libteam is a library for communication with the Netlink kernel module. It is used by `teamd`.

Libteam provides a mechanism to team multiple NICs (ports) at OSI Layer 2 (Data link) into a single virtual NIC. The process is called "channel bonding", "Ethernet bonding", "channel teaming", "link aggregation", etc. This is already implemented in the Linux kernel by the bonding driver but unlike the bonding driver, libteam (user space) has the following additional features: 

 * load-balancing for LACP support
 * NS/NA (IPV6) link monitoring
 * port priorities and stickiness ("primary" option enhancement)
 * separate per-port link monitoring setup

Libteam requires Linux kernel 3.3 or higher.
