A longitudinal study of IP Anycast
نویسندگان
چکیده
IP anycast is a commonly used technique to share the load of a variety of global services. For more than one year, leveraging a lightweight technique for IP anycast detection, enumeration and geolocation, we perform regular IP monthly censuses. While this paper provides a brief longitudinal study of the anycast ecosystem, we make all our datasets (raw measurement from PlanetLab and RIPE Atlas), results (monthly geolocated anycast replicas for all IP/24) and code available to the community.

Towards a Deployable IP Anycast Service
Since it was first described in 1993, IP anycast has been a promising technology for simple, efficient, and robust service discovery, and for connectionless services. Due to scaling issues, the difficulty of deployment, and lack of application-specific features such as load balancing and connection affinity, the use of IP anycast is limited to a small number of critical low-level services such ...

This memo discusses architectural implications of IP anycast and provides some historical analysis of anycast use by various IETF protocols.
متن کاملIdentifying and Characterizing Anycast in the Domain Name System
Since its first appearance, IP anycast has become essential for critical network services such as the Domain Name System (DNS). Despite this, there has been little attention to independently identifying and characterizing anycast nodes. External evaluation of anycast allows both third-party auditing of its benefits, and is essential to discovering benign masquerading or hostile hijacking of any...
متن کاملUsing Network Layer Anycast for Load Distribution in the Internet
In the Internet, when a unicast IP address is shared by many hosts, it is known as an anycast address. In contrast to multicast, a packet destined to an anycast address is forwarded to any one member of the anycast group. In this paper, we investigate how the IP anycast service can be exploited by hosts connected to the Internet without signiicantly impacting the routing and protocol processing...
متن کاملUsing Ip Anycast for Load Distribution and Server Location
An anycast address is an IP address that may be bound to one or more network endpoints. Unlike multicast, a packet destined to an anycast address is forwarded to any one of the hosts with this address. In this paper, we investigate how the IP anycast service can be used as an effective load distribution mechanism at the network layer. The anycast service naturally provides a client with the abi...
