Hi,

Current code support VRRPv2 for IPv6, I am working on integration of VRRPv3
(originally jonas patch). But, and But, I am not considering adding VRRP
VIP into VRRP packet for a simple reason. This VRRP stack is widely used on
critical production architectures, I am making a very extensive use of it
in my day to day job too. And I am considering as a serious security issue
placing those VIPs in each VRRP advert, because it simply expose key
elements of your network architecture to potential attackers... You must
hide as much as possible any info on your net arch, it a basic
consideration. So until some one provide a valid proof of not doing it that
way I will not add VRRP VIPs in VRRP adverts. It potentially broke
bissection tools like wireshark, but this is not a good reason IMHO :D

regs,
Alexandre
