Router or routing?[edit]

HSRP description it is not correct :-(, should be corrected.

The title of this article is Hot Standby Router Protocol, whereas in the first sentence it says Hot Standby Routing Protocol. Which is the correct meaning of the acronym? Tim 07:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hot Standby Router Protocol is correct per the Cisco links in the article. All is good now. ~Kvng (talk) 13:57, 22 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Marketing puff?[edit]

I don't think this sentence adds any meaningful information: This technology is used by many of the great companies in the world.

It looks like marketing puff to me, and I think it should be removed. Royhills 18:51, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I completely agree, Royhills. In fact, it was recently added by what appears to be a vandal. I shall revert immediately. Thanks for noticing and commenting though, it helps make wikipedia better. :) —Fudoreaper 04:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Broken link[edit]

The link in this line is broken:

A HSRP Basics Simulation visualizes Active/Standby election and link failover with Hello, Coup, ARP Reply packets and timers.

http://pre.visualland.net/view.php?cid=846&protocol=HSRP&title=1.%20HSRP%20basic

Those links were added in 2010 and removed in 2014. It was tutorial material and probably not worth attempting to recover. ~Kvng (talk) 14:03, 22 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
