Greetings operators,
A few days ago, support for VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) was merged into master. VRRP is used to provide router redundancy on LANs. FRRouting supports versions 2 and 3 of the protocol.
Our next release will not have this new protocol. It will ship in the subsequent release, around September/October. In the meantime it is available in our master Git branch.
RFCs: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5798 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3768
FRRouting documentation: http://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/vrrp.html
what's the reason behind the kernel module? Why is it needed? Isn't VRRP just multicast which can be send in userspace? And the IP up down stuff is managed by the macvlan module. Or it is just 5.1+ because the proto up / down patch for macvlan got merged into 5.1? Greets, Stefan
