"Related" here would mean that it in some way works with Quagga to make a coherent default router HA solution. This could mean that either it's implemented as one of the Quagga daemons, or that there'll be some way to configure it so that it works together with those daemons. (In particular, I believe you'll need to have a way to make the VRRP daemon share fate with the routing process, so that if the routing process should fail, you're not stuck holding onto the Virtual IP address when you can't properly forward.) > Do you mean would two machines configured as Quagga routers be able to > use the Solaris VRRP for HA? Yes. > Or are you asking that VRRP daemon will be delivered as part of Quagga > suite? Possibly. That's a design and implementation matter for the project team. I'm more interested in whether this project is proposing to build a VRRP daemon that just stands alone and has no connection to routing (and thus possibly is not usable in that context), or one that should work together with the existing routing daemons.
