A plurality of Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) endpoints of a multi-socket network interface device are attached to a host for exchanging ingress traffic and egress traffic. An operating system of the host includes a bonding/teaming module having a plurality of network interfaces. The bonding/teaming module is configured to select one of the endpoints for the egress traffic. The network interface device has a hardware bond module configured to steer the ingress traffic to designated ones of the endpoints.
