VRRP has Critical IP feature which is similar but I
think HSRPs interface tracking gives you more
flexibility in your config/design.
Additionally, ESRP (Extremes version) keeps track of #
of active ports on a device in a VLAN and can watch
the routing table to adjust whos active, priority,
etc. HSRP or VRRP does neither so I guess it depends
on what you need and how much control you want on what
box has the Shared Virtual IP addresses active.
