Explanation:
GLBP differs from Cisco Hot Standby Redundancy Protocol (HSRP) and IETF RFC 3768
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) in that it has the ability to load balance over
multiple gateways. Like HSRP and VRRP an election occurs, but rather than a single active
router winning the election GLBP elects an Active Virtual Gateway (AVG). The job of the
AVG is to assign virtual MAC addresses to each of the other GLBP routers and to assign
each network host to one of the GLBP routers. The routers that receive this MAC address
assignment are known as Active Virtual Forwarders (AVF).
