HSRP vs VRRP vs GLBP



Here, we show the main difference between HSRP, VRRP and GLBP in the following table, which may helpful for CCIE learners.
HSRP
VRRP
- 1 active router.- 1 standby router.- 1   or more listening routers.
- 1 master router.- 1 or more backup routers.
- 1 AVG (Active Virtual Gateway).- up to 4 AVF routers on   the group (Active Virtual Forwarder) passing traffic.- up to 1024 virtual   routers (GLBP groups) per physical interface.
- Use virtual ip address.
- Can use real router ip address, if not,   the one with highest priority become master.
- Use virtual ip address.

-   Multiple HSRP group per interface/SVI/routed int.
- Multiple VRRP group per   interface/SVI/routed int.
Load-balancing oriented- Weighted   algorithm.- Host-dependent algorithm.

- Round-Robin algorithm (default).
Requires appropriate distribution of Virtual GW IP per   Clients for optimal load-balancing.(generally through DHCP)
Requires appropriate distribution of   Virtual GW IP per Clients for optimal load-balancing.(generally through DHCP)
Clients are transparently updated with   virtual MAC according to load-balancing algorithm through ARP requesting a   unique virtual gateway.
