It is a +portable userland implementation of the secure and patent-free +Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD's alternative +to the patents-bloated 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. |
