NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

Operational experience with TCP and Anycast
Meeting:	NANOG37
Date / Time:	2006-06-07 12:00pm - 12:30pm
Room:	Exhibit Hall 3
Presenters:	Moderators: Matt Levine, Cache Networks. Panelists: Barrett Lyon, BitGravity, LLC. Todd Underwood, Renesys Corporation Todd Underwood is in charge of operations, security, and peering for Renesys, a provider of Internet Intelligence services. Before that he was CTO of Oso Grande, a small New Mexico ISP. He has a background in systems engineering and security and networking for clustered supercomputers. Todd has presented work related to Internet routing dynamics and relationships at NANOG and various peering forums (LINX, Switch and Data, NAP of the Americas). Todd received a B.A. in Philosophy from Columbia College, Columbia University, and an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of New Mexico.
Abstract:	There seems to be a widespread belief that gets propogated on various mailing lists that TCP over anycast is very very scary, and needs to be avoided at all costs. We\'d like to share our operational experience showing that TCP over anycast isn\'t inherently unstable, and can be an exellent tool for increasing performance and/or availability in WAN services. Hopefully the presentation will be slightly interactive (how many people know what anycast is? how many people are deathly afraid of tcp anycast? ..etc) and we hope it will inspire discussion, if not tinkering.
