CARP is the Common Address Redundancy Protocol. It was developed by the OpenBSD team as an alternative to HSRP and VRRP, both of which are patent-encumbered. It has been ported since to FreeBSD and NetBSD... and 'ported' to userland as UCARP.

You can read more about CARP here (wikipedia explanation) and here (from counterseige). Most appropriate for FreeBSD users, however, is the likely this link.
