Are there any good reasons of using proprietary FHRPs like HSRP and GLBP over VRRP ?

I thought that GLBP had functionality that allowed both participants to be active/active. I.e. you could cause ⅔ of traffic to go to one GLBP peer and the remaining ⅓ go to the other GLBP peer. It's my understanding that neither HSRP nor VRRP support this active/active operation and that they are purely active/passive. Sure, you can have multiple HSRP / VRRP IPs and spread the load via client configuration. But that's outside of the scope of the protocols themselves. Please correct me if I'm wrong. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
