I like the numbering.
1. it’s simply an announcing architecture. The “Hi, I’m a Router” approach. 2. Sort of. Clients can hear multiple gateways all at once. So they have a selection to make unlike HSRP/VRRP/GLBP which makes the selection for them. 2. It’s part of their programming. Windows will always pause to listen for this during bootup, even if a DHCP gateway is found. Granted, it will ignore anything learned, but listens nonetheless. Go figure. Linux I’m not sure about, though I assume it will listen to the announcements as well.

Hi Group,
When we configure a CISCO router to announce itself as a Default gateway via IRDP, I think all we need is to configure “ip irdp” (minimum) under the LAN interface. Here I believe router acts as a server.
1. Is the IRDP client/server architecture?
2. Is this a dynamic way to tell the clients compared to static ways like HSRP/VVRP?
2. How do the Clients (Windows, Linux etc) learn this gateway?
Thanks
