The AVG

The AVF

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).
