Based on the state machine in rfc 5798 on page 23 steps 450-460 when vrrp i=
s in backup state and receives an advertisement there is no step to recompu=
te the skew time. While in steps 740-765 on page 25 when vrrp is a master a=
nd receives an advertisement from some new master, it does recompute the sk=
ew time in step 750.
Since skew time is part of master down interval, shouldn't it be recomputed=
 in both states when advertisement is received from a master? Otherwise bac=
kup vrrp would continue to use skew time  that was computed based on its co=
nfigured value for advertisement interval when initially router transitions=
 to backup.
Is this skew time recalculation implied in the backup state or there should=
 be an explicit step like in the master case?
