Abstract：In this study,the VRRP protocol is modeled and simulated using the OPNET simulation environment,and specific methods for optimizing the network topology and adjusting the VRRP configuration parameters are proposed,aiming to verify its ef-fectiveness in improving the reliability,load balancing ability and fault recovery speed of the military communication network.The simulation results confirm that when the primary router encounters a failure,the VRRP protocol can quickly switch to the backup router to ensure the continuity of the communication link.In addition,VRRP effectively optimizes the distribution of network traffic by dynamically sharing the responsibilities of virtual routers.The comprehensive analysis shows that the VRRP protocol is a key technology to enhance the stability and reliability of military communication networks,and is of great practical significance for en-suring the continuity and stability of communication during modern warfare.
