[j-nsp] SRX sending thousands of VRRP packets per second

Hi,
We have two SRX 100s configured for VRRP; where SRX-A is the primary and
SRX-B is the backup. I have noticed a great deal of VRRP packets being sent
out - I have a capture of 50k packets being sent out in the first 7 seconds
I monitored. The packets being sent out on SRX-B is lesser than on SRX-A
but still is a lot more than what would be expected. Both devices are
configured with the default vrrp advertisement interval of 1 sec.

Any thoughts on why I would be seeing so much traffic?

Regards,
Saba
