It is a portable userland implementation of the +secure and patent-free Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD's +alternative to the VRRP). + +Strong points of the CARP protocol are : very low overhead, cryptographically +signed messages, interoperability between different operating systems and no +need for any dedicated extra network link between redundant hosts. |
