features:
- VRRPv3 (RFC 5798) for IPv4 and IPv6:
- Signaling/advertisements and election of a master
- Replies to ARP, NS requests for virtual router addresses
- VRRP virtual MAC address support:
- DPDK interfaces with PMD support for multiple MAC addresses via the
rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add(), rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_del()
- Other interfaces which are set in promiscuous mode may work
- Support interface types for VRRP virtual routers:
- Hardware interfaces
- VLAN subinterfaces
- Bond interfaces
- Additional features not specified in RFC 5798:
- Allows sending advertisements to unicast peers instead of multicast
- Allows a virtual router's priority to be adjusted based on the state
of an upstream interface. Mentioned as a configuration option to
"track interfaces or networks" in RFC 8347.
