15. A method comprising:
connecting, by executing an instruction with processor circuitry, a virtual network interface card (vNIC) of a first server host to a first physical network interface card (pNIC) of the first server host and to a second pNIC of the first server host;
establishing, by executing an instruction with the processor circuitry, an inter-switch link between a first switch and a second switch, the first switch and the first server host in a first network fabric, the second switch and a second server host in a second network fabric; and
causing, by executing an instruction with the processor circuitry, transmission of a first network packet and a second network packet from the vNIC of the first server host, the first and second network packets to be delivered to the second server host via the inter-switch link, the first network packet to be transmitted via the first pNIC when utilization of the first pNIC does not satisfy a threshold value, the second network packet to be transmitted via the second pNIC when the utilization of the first pNIC satisfies the threshold value.
