Abstract
|
Anycasting was introduced to facilitate efficient communication
between distributed Internet services and their clients, as it
allows client requests to be automatically routed to nearby
service instances. However, even though several anycast
implementations have been proposed, their various limitations
prevent them from being widely adopted by large-scale
distributed systems.
This paper identifies the key limitations of existing anycast implementations, and proposes how to implement anycast such that all these limitations are addressed without harming the performance of anycast communication. Our solution relies on address-translation capabilities present in modern operating systems. These capabilities have originally been designed for communication with mobile nodes. However, we demonstrate that one can exploit them to implement versatile anycasting at low cost. |
