Mukesh> I agree that it should be "Obsoletes: 3768".  The new spec does address a few issues in the VRRPv2 spec and the WG should recommend the implementations to transition to VRRPv3.

That's a good point.  Steve, could you please check the differences between the v6 parts of this spec and the vrrp-ipv6-spec and see if both the version will be interoperable or not?  If there are enough differences, we might have to increment the version number in this spec :(

Pekka, I just know of one implementation (Nokia) of vrrp-ipv6-spec. Do you know of any more?
