Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Anycast is a network addressing and routing scheme whereby data is routed to the topologically nearest or best node. The term is intended to echo the terms unicast, broadcast and multicast. In unicast, there is a one-to-one association between network address and network endpoint: each destination address uniquely identifies a single receiver endpoint. In broadcast and multicast, there is a one-to-many association between network addresses and network endpoints: each destination address identifies a set of receiver endpoints, to which all information is replicated. In anycast, there is a one-to- one-of-many association between network addresses and network endpoints: each destination address identifies a set of receiver endpoints, but only one of them is chosen at any given time to receive information from any given sender.
