Re: CARP and VRRP incompatible on the same network segment?

 I wouldn't be surprised if they're incompatible on the same segment.
 They use the same protocol number, and I'm willing to be you have
 identical VRID/VHID's in there.  Even if the ID's are not the same,
 the OS is trying to make sense of what it believes to be a CARP
 packet, but really isn't.  The CARP packet format is described in src/
 sys/netinet/ip_carp.h.  The VRRP packet format is in the RFC (http://
 www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2338.html).

It does work, I have this type of setup at work.  However I also only
allow CARP packets in from the IP of the CARP peer.  On the VRRP side
of things, my poor collegues are getting inundated with broken VRRP
messages from the CARP firewalls, but it does work in practice with
both Nortel 8600 routers and Nortel Contivity IPSec switches.  Doesn't
mean other network gear works better.
