I am running both ESXi and Hyper-V (because I cannot get Quicksync to work in a VM, I run Emby on the Hyper-V host).
In ESXi it is possible to add multiple NICs to a vSwitch so it can do a sort of link aggregation using round-robin assigments to each NIC. The VMs don't know and don't care about the multiple NICs.
Does Hyper-V do the same thing with the switch-independent link aggregation? Or do the VMs in Hyper-V have to support link aggregation for it to work?
I want the link aggregation because the ESXi box runs FreeNAS and I would like it to handle multiple streams from movies/TV stored on FreeNAS transcoded by Emby and sent out both to the Internet and to local HTPC clients.
Thanks in advance!
