The draft specifies VRRP version 3. VRRP version 3 no longer supports IPv4. If VRRPv2 is to revised for IPv4, what would be their version number? IMO, VRRPv3 should perhaps support both IPv4 and IPv6; e.g. a one-bit flag from the reserved field (1 for IPv6, 0 for IPv4), to select the header format and used address family. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
