While I agree with you, anycast is an important capability in the Internet architecture

This is sort of an achievement already given some reckless claims on the IETF mailing list!  Thank you.


nevertheless it has many limitations, and is not the panacea you claim it to be, even for DDoS. 

If you consider the client-server model, it *is* the panacea, fundamentally, but I agree that p2p and other models of communications might require something else.  My bad, didn't consider these before.


Furthermore, I’m not sure what you or the original reporter of this problem expect the IETF to do to fix the problem that was reported.

Honestly, I've just been answering the questions other people have, sharing my experience.

I, too, believe the practical discussion rather belongs to LKML.
