Re: HSRP vs VRRP for IPv6 on IOS-XE - rekindling an old flame

[Owen DeLong <owen () delong com>]

VRRP is to HSRP what 802.1q is to ISL...

I highly recommend using VRRP instead of HSRP because:

1.      It is a more robust protocol
2.      It is vendor agnostic
3.      Being vendor agnostic it is more likely to have a continuing future.

Does anyone still use ISL?
