The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG
(rtgwg) to consider the following document: - 'Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP) Version 3 for IPv4 and IPv6'
<draft-ietf-rtgwg-vrrp-rfc5798bis-12.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2023-12-11. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the beginning

Abstract
This document defines version 3 of the Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP) for IPv4 and IPv6. It is based on VRRP (version 2)
for IPv4 that is defined in RFC 3768 and in "Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol for IPv6", and obsoletes the prevision
specification of this version documented in RFC 5798. 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 IPv4 or IPv6 address(es) associated with a Virtual
Router is called the Active Router, and it forwards packets sent to
these IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. Active Routers are configured with
virtual IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, and Backup Routers infer the address
family of the virtual addresses being advertised based on the IP
protocol version. Within a VRRP Router, the Virtual Routers in each
of the IPv4 and IPv6 address families are independent of one another
and always treated as separate Virtual Router instances. The
election process provides dynamic failover in the forwarding
responsibility should the Active Router become unavailable. For
IPv4, the advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher-availability
default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or
router discovery protocols on every end-host. For IPv6, the
advantage gained from using VRRP for IPv6 is a quicker switchover to
Backup Routers than can be obtained with standard IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery mechanisms.
The VRRP terminology has been updated to conform to inclusive
language guidelines for IETF technologies. The IETF has designated
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) "Guidance for
NIST Staff on Using Inclusive Language in Documentary Standards" for
its inclusive language guidelines.
