This draft is a work item of the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Timer Enhancements to Reduce Failover Times for the
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol for IPv4
Author(s) : R. Hott
Filename : draft-ietf-vrrp-ipv4-timers-00.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 2005-2-15
This memo identifies a new requirement for the Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for IPv4 and proposes candidate
implementation approaches to address this requirement. VRRP
specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns
responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers
on a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address(es)
associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and
forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election process
provides dynamic fail over in the forwarding responsibility should
the Master become unavailable. The new requirement is for VRRP
for IPv4 to support sub-second fail over from the Master.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
