Apart from that I thought the different version number was sufficient (as it is for other protocols, and so have others who actually started to write a draft for an independent submission early last year and stalled on it). I am actually not in the loop on what we ended up with in 10 but I guess given the new CARP started to understand the old stuff glebius did not end up bumping it finally in FreeBSD? So the problem might remain that we are on a conflicting “VRRP/CARP version”? In addition you should, of course, use secrets with the VRRP/CARP as otherwise you deserve to have real clashes that do unexpected things to your deployment. Just my -1cts /bz — Bjoern A.
