Title : BGP Anycast Node Requirements for Authoritative Name Servers
Author(s) : Y. Morishita, et al.
Filename : draft-morishita-dnsop-anycast-node-requirements-03.txt

IP anycast [1] is a technology to share one IP address for Internet
services with multiple server nodes. It is now being deployed for
improving service reliability, scalability, and stability.
Especially, "Global-Scope" IP anycast is now being deployed for
authoritative name servers, typically for root servers.
RFC 3258 [2] describes a set of practices to apply IP anycast
technology for authoritative name servers. And "Operation of Anycast
Services" Internet-Draft [3] (hereafter, called "Anycast BCP")
describes a series of recommendations and considerations for
distribution of services using IP anycast.
On the other hand, operators of authoritative name servers can also
refer to RFC 2182 [4] and 2870 [5] for general guidances on
appropriate practices for authoritative name servers.
This memo describes the details of requirements and preconditions for
making "Global-Scope" IP anycast nodes for authoritative name
servers, with the conformance of the practices in RFC 2182, 2870,
3258 and Anycast BCP.
And this memo also describes our findings and experiences for making
IP anycast nodes for us. Authors hope that it is useful for DNS
operators that they will walk on the same way in the future,
especially for TLD operators.

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.
