Extreme Standby Router Protocol and Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol

Overview This paper will discuss two different protocols that can be used to increase network resiliency. Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP) is a protocol created by Extreme Networks to provide redundancy at both Layer 2 and Layer 3. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a similar protocol, put forward by the IETF, that is designed specifically for Layer 3 redundancy in IP networks. VRRP can be used in conjunction with a Layer 2 loop prevention protocol such as Spanning Tree to provide the functionality of ESRP.
