[AusNOG] RFC7094 - "Architectural Considerations of IP Anycast"

[Joshua D'Alton]

Very interesting read..:

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.

Thanks for the link!
