<div>I found particularly thoughtful, however without seemingly a solution as of yet to that particular problem. I'm surprised the smart folks at Akamai, Cloudflare, and Arbor etc aren't involved in that RFC, I'd expect they would be some of the largest players/users besides the root/gTLD operators.</div>

<br>
A new RFC was published today which might be of interest to people on this list:<br>
<br>
<br>
RFC7094 - "Architectural Considerations of IP Anycast"<br>
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7094" target="_blank">http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7094</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Although the title may sound a bit dry, it is a very comprehensive collection of information and references regarding the use of Anycast under both IPv4 and IPv6. Although I'd previously use anycast IP for DNS resolvers, when I reviewed it early in its development (2010 IIRC), I was surprised at how much thought, development and experimentation had actually gone on since the original idea.<br>
