GLBP would be used where you have two live WAN links, and wish to use both of them. As with HSRP and VRRP you would have a standby interface configured and use this as the default gateway. Based on an ARP request for the Default Gateway, the two systems will hash the requesting MAC Address and one of them will answer the ARP request. Thus half of the clients will use one router and the other half will use the other. Based on load on each, who answers will be dynamically updated. I don't believe GLBP is currently available in a release posted to CCO. One of my customers was on the Early Field Trials and it worked well.
