It is a little bit surreal - its not like anycast is some weird, new, or revolutionary technology. BGP is surely not a black art to the folks at Verisign - and little is required to do anycast, other than some minor routing configuration. Two possible solutions - Verisign is so big that institutional paralysis has set in, or, they now say this when asked about any configuration change. Either way, its unacceptable for them to be fulfilling their contract in this manner. -- Daniel Golding Network and Telecommunications Strategies Burton Group > From: Barney Wolff <[email protected]> > Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2003 10:41:56 -0500 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: 'Net security gets root-level boost > > > On Tue, Oct 28, 2003 at 09:58:20AM +0200, Hank Nussbacher wrote: >> >> http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2003/1027ddos.html > > Love this quote from Verisign: > > "We tested Anycast for about a year...to monitor its behavior," > Silva says.
