[c-nsp] HSRP forwarding question

[Shimol Shah]

So what is the question ?

HSRP speakers choose a ACTIVE and a STANDBY. ACTIVE is the *only* one 
who does the forwarding.

They pick a HSRP VIP which is the DG of the users. ACTIVE one repliesto 
ARP/own's MAC for it. Users forward to ACTIVE. STANDBY is not used for 
traffic from users->network until ACTIVE is down.

GLBP has a more ACTIVE/ACTIVE implementation by choosing a AVG and 
multiple AVFs
