Explanation

In GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol), the AVG (Active Virtual Gateway) is the single router elected to respond to ARP requests from hosts for the virtual IP address. The AVG replies with one of up to four different virtual MAC addresses, distributing clients across multiple AVFs (Active Virtual Forwarders) for load balancing. The AVF routers forward the actual traffic but do not respond to ARP requests - that responsibility belongs solely to the AVG. HSRP uses 'Active' and 'Standby' roles, which do not apply to GLBP.
