Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a network management protocol that is used to increase the availability of default gateway servicing hosts on the same subnet. VRRP improves the reliability and performance of the host network by enabling a virtual router to act as the default gateway for that network. What is the VRRP protocol used for?
