559
+ Issues can arise with VRRP (especially IPv6) when you have a VM running on top
560
+ of a linux host, where your physical network is in a bridge, and the VM
561
+ has an interface attached to the bridge. By default, the linux bridge will
562
+ snoop multicast traffic, and you will likely see sporadic VRRP advertisements failing
563
+ to be received. IPv6 traffic was be particularly affected.
564
+
565
+ This was observed on a VM running on proxmox, and the solution was to disable
566
+ multicast snooping on the bridge:
567
+
568
+ .. code-block :: console
569
+
570
+ echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/net/vmbr0/bridge/multicast_snooping
