Good protocols don't need a hack like HSRP. ;-) Seriously, an IPX client sends a RIP Find Network Number broadcast at initialization and if a problem occurs. Any router can respond.
AppleTalk doesn't need HSRP either. AppleTalk end nodes listen to RTMP packets and figure out the address of the sending routers. I don't think DECnet needs HSRP either. Nor does Banyan. Just IP.
