FYI, I have written a VRRP for IPv6 draft based on RFC2338 (VRRP for IPv4) and have requested a session for the VRRP w.g. at the Salt Lake City IETF to discuss it. Online discussion should occur on the VRRP mailing list:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to the VRRP list, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subscribe vrrp <your_name> in the body of the message. More info on the VRRP for IPv6 draft is below.

The protocol operates in the same manner >as VRRP (for IPv4) as defined in RFC2338.

This included removing address count field from > header. > o Rewrote text to specify IPv6 Neighbor Discovery mechanisms > instead of ARP. > o Changed state machine actions to use Neighbor Discovery > mechanisms. This includes sending unsolicited Neighbor > Advertisements, Receiving Neighbor Solicitations, joining the > appropriate solicited node multicast group, sending Router > Advertisements, and receiving Router Solicitations. > >Plus a general rewrite of the introduction and some of the other overview >sections. > >I took the liberty of making it a VRRP w.g. draft as there was some >discussion on the vrrp list and it is a work item in the w.g. charter. > >Until the new Internet Draft is out, the draft can be found at: > > http://playground.sun.com/pub/hinden/vrrp/draft-ietf-vrrp-ipv6-spec-00.txt > >I will request a one hour slot at the Salt Lake City IETF meeting in >December for the VRRP working group to meet.
