VRRP
VRRP Operational Process

Gateway Load Balancing ProtocolSingle virtual IP address and multiple virtual MAC addressesTraffic to single gateway distributed across routersAutomatic rerouting in the event of any failure Full use of resources on all routers without the administrative burden of creating multiple groups
GLBP OperationsGLBP group members elect one AVG.AVG assigns a virtual MAC address to each member of the group.AVG replies to the ARP requests from clients with different virtual MAC addresses, thus achieving load balancing.Each router becomes an AVF for frames that are addressed to that virtual MAC address.

SummaryVRRP provides router redundancy in a manner similar to HSRP.VRRP supports a master and one or more backup routers.VRRP and GLBP are configured per interface.GLBP provides router redundancy and load balancing.GLBP balances traffic by allocating a virtual MAC address to each AVF.
