VRRP : increasing reliability & failover with the virtual router redundancy protocol
Auteurs : SRIKANTH Ayikudy, ONART Adnan
The first book on VRRP, a new protocol for disaster recovery and reliability, ensuring a network will not go down if one router fails.
- In the wake of September 11, more companies are requiring their networks to have disaster recovery models. VRRP routes data to prevent network outages.
- Explains the basics of the protocol and deployment options, as well as high-level issues.
- Features configuration and deployment examples and expert recommendations, exactly what network administrators need to know.
Ayikudy Srikanth, formerly with Nortel Networks, is an engineer at Crossbeam Systems. Crossbeam, based in Concord, MA, provides enterprises and service providers with high-performance open platforms for deploying multiple network services. Check Point is a major partner. Ayikudy is a member of the VRRP working group in the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and is the co-author of the VRRP over LAN emulation draft. He has implemented VRRP on Nortel Networks routers. Adnan Adam Onart is an engineering manager for Nortel Networks, developing the high-availability strategy and VRRP for a VPN product.
