Vip IP (Virtual IP)

Virtual IP is used to speed up detection of failed nodes.
When a node fails, its virtual IP migrates to another node of cluster.
If that were not, clients would have to wait for TCP/IP timeouts (which

can be
very long) before trying the next node of the cluster.
When migrate to another node, virtual IP address can immediately signal
that the
node is down, triggering the client to try the next host in the local na
ming files.
