Abstract:

   The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) Version 3 as specified
   in RFC 9568 assumes multicast operation on a shared LAN.  Some
   deployments require the VRRP first-hop redundancy function but cannot
   use multicast delivery for VRRP advertisements.  This document
   updates RFC 9568 by defining an optional configured unicast mode for
   VRRP Version 3 in which advertisements are sent to configured peer
   addresses rather than to the VRRP multicast group.  The VRRP packet
   format, state machine, protocol number, virtual IP semantics, and
   Virtual Router MAC behavior remain unchanged from RFC 9568.
