Hi all, Currently, i'm investigating solutions in order to ensure some redundancy at the IP level. More specifically, i'm looking into CARP and VRRP. As i'm having a look at the CARP implementation, one question did arise: Is there currently any reason to not have an implementation of VRRP inside FreeBSD? I understand that this made sense at a time due to CISCO patents, but according to Wikipedia, it seems that those patents did expire some years ago. So, would there still be legal issues about this or is FreeBSD now free to have its own VRRP implementation? Regards, Nicolas Masse.
