The exception for this is on Nexus vPC and 6500 VSS. Both nodes would be
forwarding in these cases.

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

to remember seeing datagrams that were addressed to the virtual IP
address, but were delivered to the standby router getting forwarded from
the standby to the active for routing.
