Single global announcement (Re: Anycast root metrics and analysis)

[Harald Alvestrand <Harald@Alvestrand.no>]

If read as a physically single point, the single global announcement idea 
kills any hope of the anycast scheme benefiting users in smaller ISPs 
outside the US.

I still think an anycast AS number needs to be centrally owned and 
administered, with monitoring of the global routing tables to detect bogon 
announcements, just like a real, normally internally-connected AS would behave.

We might agree.
(and - I think the Right Thing is a Root Server Consortium operating under 
ICANN contract, with responsibility for ONE of the addresses, at least at 
first, with the rest of the root server set being managed exactly the way 
it is today. but we are getting VERY far into politics rather than technology).
