UCARP allows a pair of hosts to share common virtual IP addresses in order to
|
|
provide automatic failover. It is a portable userland implementation of the
|
|
secure and patent-free Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD's
|
|
alternative to the VRRP).
|
|
|
|
Strong points of the CARP protocol are : very low overhead, cryptographically
|
|
signed messages, interoperability between different operating systems and no
|
|
need for any dedicated extra network link between redundant hosts.
