Choosing teaming over bonding

Hi!

I am bit unclear about the concept of teaming in RHEL7.
I appreciate if someone can clarify my thought.

I read below blog and document about teaming.

If You Like Bonding, You Will Love Teaming

5.1. UNDERSTANDING NETWORK TEAMING
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Networking_Guide/ch-Configure_Network_Teaming.html#sec-Understanding_Network_Teaming

I understood as bonding configuration and packet processing mainly takes place in the kernel space.
Compared to this, when using teaming , only packet flow processing takes place in kernel space and configuration takes place in user space.

So , what is the advantage of having the configuration taking place in user space?
