As Jim pointed out in a earlier email, VRRP *as defined* by RFC 3768 only provides HA for forwarder- it would not work for server-type application. CARP may be different ( not sure yet) . Another issue is that CARP seems to reuse VRRP's IP protocol number( 112). THis might affect CARP's deployment in a datacenter scenario where provider's gear is running VRRP.

I doubt that's a serious problem as both solutions require you to
configure master/slave pairs explicitly.

And there's nothing to stop us from using a completely different
number for CARP as it isn't officially assigned.  In addition, it was
deliberately chosen to conflict with VRRP.
