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

Mon Aug 20 20:31:42 UTC 2012

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?
