Overview

The VRRP provides an automatic assignment of IP routers, using virtual routers as proxies for physical routers. An IP address acts as a gateway between the router and the Exinda appliances. The VRRP receives traffic requests and distributes them to the appliances connected to it, providing greater reliability and steady traffic request distribution.
