VRRP works very well on Nokia and it's included, no extra cost.
If you want HA and load balancing it's not supported on Nokia. You'll need
to purchase Rainfinity or Stonebeat on Solaris, Linux or Windows.
VRRP has a predifined failover value that can be changed. Normally 10-30
seconds. Some switches have trouble with the HRRP protocol, I remember
having trouble with Nortel. I ended up using hubs.
Rainfinity as a sub-second response. I've deployed Raifinity in a VoIP
with great success. I've yet to have any problems with any switches.
Both solutions require little maintainence. If setup properly you'll
forget about them. Changes needed if network numbering changes.
