Redundancy with Drop-in Mode and Bypass

Hi guys. About the redundancy I have some doubts yet. The [email protected] asked to me post the questions here.

If the gateway adrress is the VRRP or any other router in the network, how the clients networks (notebooks, smartphones) will continue send packets for gateway if this gateway is down? The balance assume this IP ?

When I did a test with traceroute I saw the first hop is the balance lan interface and just the second hop is the gateway address IP. This behave is normal?

If the CPU LOAD on balance reaches 100% this can cause any latency problem on the network because it´s the first hop?

In short, how the balance handle with traffic with and without gateway? Because it is transparent but some times it needs to assume the gateway functions.

Thanks.

Balance router will act as ARP proxy. So when the Drop-in WAN is down, the traffic will be forwarded to the backup WAN.
