In the Juno release of OpenStack, the Neutron community introduced two methods of attaining high availability in routing in a reference implementation. This chapter focuses on a method that uses Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol, also known as VRRP, to implement redundancy between two or more Neutron routers. High availability using distributed virtual routers, otherwise known as DVR, will be discussed in Chapter 9, Distributed Virtual Routers.
