HSRP / VRRP

Hi ,

As far as LAN redundancy is concerned, we had been using HSRP between
two routers. By this, In case the first router fails, it takes around
10-15 secs for the LAN to come up on the standby router.

I have studied in Cisco documents that VRRP can almost instantaneously
bring up the LAN on the standby router (in case the primary router
fails !! ) . Has anybody tested this ?

Is there any other difference (other than command sets) between HSRP
and VRRP ?

Cheers
Raj
