[address-policy-wg] PI for Not-DNS Anycast.

  • From: Andy Davidson andy@localhost

Hi,

Can I get the community's thoughts on this, please ..

I think we have a well defined policy on what to do when someone needs some PI in order to run an Anycasted DNS service. We set out a family of requirements based on geographic diversity, for instance, that clearly states what should be in place when a request for PI for DNS use is made.

What if a company wants to try to deploy an anycasted production service for something which is not DNS ? It could be a proprietary protocol, or something standard like http. Is the community view that they should just deaggregate some of their PA - which I don't like the sound of - or apply for PI in the normal way, and pretend anycast isn't necessarily involved ?

Many thanks
Andy
