A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A Protocol for Anycast Address Resolving
Author(s) : S. Ata, et al.
Filename : draft-ata-ipv6-anycast-resolving-02.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2004-10-27
Since the route of packets to the same anycast adddress may change
according to the network/node condition, it is not suitable to use
anycast addresses directry for stateful communications (such as TCP).
The more preferable use of the anycast addresses is to discover (the
unicast address of) service node.
The approach intended to describe in this document is to resolve
(i.e., obtain) the corresponding unicast address for the anycast
address prior to establishing the communication. We call this process
as Anycast Address Resolving (AARP).
The objevtive of the AARP is to enable the use of anycast addresses
to all existing applications without any modifications.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
