VRRP

6 VRRP
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a procedure that enables
the system to react to the failure of a router within a few seconds (usually 3
seconds).
VRRP is used in networks with terminal devices that only support one entry
for the "Default Gateway". If the "Default Gateway" fails, then VRRP ensures
that the terminal devices find a redundant gateway.
