Abstract
This document describes GIA, an architecture for a scalable Global IP-Anycast service. In contrast to previous approaches, which route IP-anycast through the unicast routing system, GIA provides IP-anycast with its own routing protocol. To scale, GIA pushes the overhead of anycast routing to the edge of the network and off-load the middle routers of the burden of storing anycast routes.
