Hi,

I have been surprised to see that the source MAC address for VRRPv2 and 
VRRPv3 are not the same.  I do not see any good reason. Please could it 
be clarified ?

Virtual Router MAC Address of VRRPv3
  00-00-5E-00-02-{VRID}
versus
  00-00-5E-00-01-{VRID}

It would be more simple to have a same MAC address for the same VRIDs. 
It just requires more ressources to duplicate it.

Thanks,
  Vincent
