} You're confusing CARP with VRRP. It is the other way around.

     No, I'm not confusing anything.  I'm well aware that VRRP violates
Cisco's patent.  However, Cisco has publicly stated that they will not
prosecute anybody implementing it.  However, to my knowledge, they have
not made any comments about CARP.  So, my question stands:  de we know
if CARP violates Cisco's patent?
