Hi Timo.

I am aware of the userland implementation.
It lacks some of the advantages of the kernel implementation.
Those are for instance sysctl variables on FreeBSD with some features that the userland version does not include:

net.inet.carp.allow: 1
net.inet.carp.preempt: 0
net.inet.carp.log: 1
net.inet.carp.arpbalance: 0
net.inet.carp.suppress_preempt: 0


Btw, what do you mean by diging into it?
