2 Overview Gateway load balancing protocols Most gateway redundant backup technologies, such as Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) (RFC 3768), and Cisco proprietary Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), if mature, are inefficient. With any of these protocols, only one router (the master or the active router) in a backup group forwards traffic for a LAN. The other routers in the group function as backups, and do not forward traffic when the master or the active router is operating normally. To better use network resources, Cisco developed Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) and developed VRRP Extended (VRRPE) to balance traffic among gateways in a backup group. Introduction to Cisco GLBP GLBP is a proprietary protocol of Cisco. It can bind one virtual IP address to up to four MAC addresses. The clients in a network use the same virtual IP address as their gateway address. The client sends ARP requests to the gateway. After receiving the request, the active router in the GLBP group replies to the clients with different MAC addresses. This enables corresponding routers in the GLBP group to forward packets from individual clients; thus implementing load balancing. With HSRP and VRRP, an active router or master router must be selected to forward packets, while the other backup routers are only for backup purposes. With GLBP, no active or master router is necessarily selected, because all routers in a GLBP group can participate in packet forwarding while providing redundant router backup. GLBP elects an active virtual gateway (AVG) according to the priority. The router with the higher priority wins the election. In the case of routers with equal priority, the router with the higher IP address wins. If the AVG fails, a new AVG election process will begin. The AVG in a GLBP group is responsible for assigning virtual MAC addresses to the routers (including the AVG itself) in the group in order. A router whose virtual MAC address is assigned by the AVG is called the primary virtual forwarder (PVF) of the virtual MAC address, while a router whose virtual MAC address is learned by the hello message is called the secondary virtual forwarder (SVF) of the virtual MAC address. The router that is responsible for forwarding the packets destined for the virtual MAC address is called active virtual forwarder (AVF). When the PVF works normally, the PVF is the AVF. If the PVF fails, the SVF with the highest weight becomes the AVF. Compared with HSRP and VRRP, GLBP features the following: With HSRP and VRRP, multiple backup groups must be created and different gateway addresses must be configured for different hosts in a LAN, if you want multiple routers to share packet-forwarding load. Using GLBP, packet forwarding load sharing can be implemented by creating only one backup group and specifying only one gateway for different hosts in the LAN. GLBP implements redundant backup of virtual forwarders (VFs). When a router in the GLBP group fails, the other routers in the group can take over the virtual MAC address of the failed router to enable uninterrupted communications among the hosts in a LAN. Introduction to VRRPE VRRP addresses the single-point of failure of gateway. In a VRRP group, only the master router can forward packets, and the backup routers do not participate in packet forwarding and only act as backups for the master when the master works normally, resulting in low usage of network resources. VRRP Extended (VRRPE) adds the load balancing feature on the basis of VRRP. VRRPE binds one virtual IP address to multiple virtual MAC addresses. Each router in a VRRPE group corresponds to a virtual MAC address. The virtual gateway router replies to the ARP requests (in an IPv4 network) or Neighbor Discovery (ND) requests (in an IPv6 network) with different virtual MAC addresses, so that different hosts send their packets to different routers, and each involved router in the VRRP group can forward the received packets. VRRPE inherits the master/backup election mechanism of VRRP. The master router is responsible for assigning virtual MAC addresses to the routers (including the master router itself) in the VRRPE group, replying the ARP/ND requests from the hosts to the gateway, and forwarding packets from the hosts; the backup routers, on one hand, act as the backups for the master router, and, on the other hand, forward packets as gateways. A router in a VRRPE group can be in any of the three states: initialize, master, and backup. 2
3 After the master router in a VRRPE group assigns a virtual MAC address to a router in the group, each router in the group creates a VF corresponding to the virtual MAC address; and the router assigned with the virtual MAC address is called the owner of the VF. A VF can be in any of the three states: initialize, active, and listening. The priority of a VF determines its state. The VF with the highest priority is in active state, and it is called the AVF, responsible for forwarding the packets destined for the virtual MAC address. The VFs corresponding to the virtual MAC address on other routers are in listening state, which are called LVFs, responsible for listening to the state of the AVF. In a VRRPE group, only the AVFs can forward packets from the hosts in a LAN. VRRPE uses four types of packets for exchanging information between master and backup routers: Advertisement: Advertises the states of the VRRPE group and the states of the AVFs on the local router. The master router and backup routers send advertisement packets periodically. Request: A backup router that is not the VF owner sends request packets to the master to request a virtual MAC address. Reply: After receiving a request packet, the master router sends a reply to the backup router to assign a virtual MAC address. After receiving the reply, the backup router creates a VF that corresponds to the virtual MAC address. The router is the owner of the VF. Release: If the VF owner times out, the router that takes over sends a release packet to notify the other routers in the VRRPE group to remove the VFs corresponding to the VF owner. Let s examine IPv4-based VRRPE as an example; the operation procedure is as follows: 1. The master in the VRRPE group assigns virtual MAC addresses to the routers (including the master router itself) in the group. As shown in Figure 1, in the VRRPE group with virtual IP address /24, Router A is the master router, and Router B is the backup router. Router A assigns virtual MAC address 000f-e2ff-0011 to itself, and 000f-e2ff-0012 to Router B. Figure 1: addresses assignment by the master Network Router A Master Router B Backup Virtual IP /24 : 000f-e2ff Allocates : 000f-e2ff-0012 to Router B Host A Host B 3
4 2. After receiving the ARP requests destined for the virtual IP address from the hosts, the master router, according to the load balancing algorithm, replies to the requests from different hosts with different virtual MAC addresses. As shown in Figure 2, Host A sends a request to obtain the MAC address corresponding to the gateway , and the master router uses the virtual MAC address of Router A to reply the request; Host B sends a request to obtain the MAC address corresponding to the gateway , and the master router uses the virtual MAC address of Router B to reply to the request. Figure 2: Reply of ARP requests by the master Network Router A Master Router B Backup Virtual IP /24 : 000f-e2ff : 000f-e2ff-0012 Gateway MAC: 000f-e2ff Gateway MAC: 000f-e2ff-0012 Host A Host B 3. Different virtual MAC addresses can lead the packets from different hosts to different routers. As shown in Figure 3, Host A regards the virtual MAC address of Router A the gateway address, and Host B regards the virtual MAC address of Router B the gateway address, so that the packets from Host A are forwarded by Router A, and those from Host B are forwarded by Router B. 4

This feature cannot be configured at CLI Interoperability Supported by some vendors, like Cisco Supported by many vendors Load balancing algorithm Cyclic algorithm, host-based algorithm, weight-based algorithm Host-based algorithm CPU load Medium Medium Maximum number of backup groups supported Gateway load balancing configuration example Network diagram As shown in Figure 4, Router A, Router B, and Router C are in backup group 1, which acts as the gateway of Host A, Host B, and Host C in the LAN. Router A, Router B, and Router C back up one another. When a router fails, another router can take over so as to enable uninterrupted traffic forwarding. Router A, Router B, and Router C belong to backup group 1 with the virtual IP address /24. 5
6 The hosts in network segment /24 use /24 as the default gateway. VRRP is used to make sure that when a router in the VRRP group fails, the hosts can still access the external network through the gateway address. Backup group 1 works in the load balancing mode to fully utilize gateway resources. On Router A, Router B, and Router C respectively, configure VFs to track the status of interface Ethernet 1/2. When an interface fails, the weight of the corresponding router decreases by a certain value, so that another router can take over.

To migrate from a GLBP network to a VRRPE network, the key configuration items include virtual IP address, VF, priorities of the master router and backup routers, tracking, and holdtime in case of a failure. 8
