>Technical Summary
>
>The IP Version 6 addressing architecture defines an "anycast" address
>as an IPv6 address that is assigned to one or more network interfaces
>(typically belonging to different nodes), with the property that a
>packet sent to an anycast address is routed to the "nearest" interface
>having that address, according to the routing protocols' measure of
>distance.  This document defines a set of reserved anycast addresses
>within each subnet prefix, and lists the initial allocation of these
>reserved subnet anycast addresses.
>
>Working Group Summary
>
>There was strong WG support for this document. Other documents in the
>pipeline (e.g., Mobile IP for IPv6) make use of anycast addresses.
