Correct answer: redundancy, load sharing.
Why this is the answer
VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) provides redundancy by allowing multiple routers to act as a single virtual router. If the active router fails, a standby router automatically takes over, ensuring continuous network availability. It also supports load sharing when configured with multiple virtual router IDs (VRIDs) and corresponding virtual IP addresses. This allows different hosts to use different virtual routers as their default gateway, distributing traffic across multiple physical routers. Granular QoS, dynamic routing updates, and bandwidth optimization are separate network functionalities not directly provided by VRRP itself.
