Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol BOF (vrrp)
Monday, April 7 at 1530-1730
============================
CHAIRS:
Bob Hinden / Ipsilon Networks
Peter Kline / AGIS
PURPOSE
The purpose of this BOF is to assess interest in creating a working
group to define a standard virtual router redundancy protocol for IPv4
and IPv6.
BACKGROUND
A virtual router redundancy protocol is a protocol which allows
several routers on a multi-access link to utilize the same virtual IP
address. One router will be elected as a master with the other
routers acting as backups in case of the failure of the master router.
The primary motivation to using a virtual router redundancy protocol
is that host systems may be configured (manually or via DHCP) with a
single default gateway, rather than running an active routing
protocol.
AGENDA:
1. Introduction.
2. Requirements for a Virtual router redundancy protocol.
3. Review of current internet drafts of VRRP.
4. Discuss the need for a Standard.
5. Review of Draft Charter (including goals and schedule).
6. Assess consensus for creating VRRP working group.
