What is Anycast?
BGP anycast is a way to route network traffic that dramatically increases the speed and reliability of your network. With anycast routing, one IP address becomes reachable at multiple geographic locations. Incoming requests from end users are automatically fulfilled to the server nearest to them on the network. This makes adding a new locations or taking a server offline much simpler, as traffic automatically reroutes the next nearest available location.
Faster Connections
Anycast enables user requests to be directed to the location closest to them geographically, minimizing round-trip time (RTT), decreasing the number of hops, and reducing latency.
