Failover with CARP in PFsense: Part 1
Failover with CARP in PFsense
Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP) is a protocol which allows multiple hosts on the same local network to share a set of IP addresses. Its primary purpose is to provide failover redundancy. It was developed as a non-patent-encumbered alternative to Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), which is defined in RFC 2281 and 3768 and was quite far along towards becoming an IETF-sanctioned standard.
