Currently, the heartbeat interval in the Peplink VRRP implementation is hardcoded to 1s. So the master router is only considered dead after 3 missed heartbeats, so after at least 3 seconds. That might be too much in some situations. I would like to be able to set the heartbeat interval to another value (e.g. 300ms) so the master would be considered dead within one second, drastically increasing switchover time. Of course, only reliable on a reliable LAN.
