NetBSD‘s Liam J. Foy has ported CARP
from OpenBSD and committed it into NetBSD-current. CARP is a secure, free alternative to the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol and the Hot Standby Router Protocol. CARP works by allowing a group of hosts on the same network segment (known as ‘redundancy group’) to share an IP address, and in the event that the master host suffers a failure, the IP will move to one of the backups hosts and the service will continue unaffected.
Wrong wikipedia url
Should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Address_Redundancy_Protocol
and not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_Array_Routing_Protocol
Please fix the URL like the previous post said.
I think the correct URL will be fixed on Monday.
Glad to see CARP making it around.
I think it’s awesome that we both got modded down.
