Title: VRRP (keepalived) as alternative to CARP
Post by: guest30814 on October 29, 2021, 12:48:41 PM
Hello, please consider to implement VRRP (keepalived) as an alternative to CARP. Unlike CARP, VRRP is using unicast traffic which means it can be operated without having to enable promiscuous mode in virutal environments. Thanks

There was someone around the last days trying to implement it, just search the forums.

Thanks for the link! Afaik there is currently no maintainer for net/freevrrpd.
Nevertheless if it's stable enough, maybe someone could create a plugin with UI for it.
