Abstract: BGP4 Anycast for Root Name Service -- Threat or Menace?

Suzanne Woolf, ISC, and Mark Schleifer, Cogent

Just as fine grained peering helps keep local traffic local, so it is that massive scale anycast can help keep local attacks local. F-root is going worldwide, which means you'll be able to peer with ISC (the Internet Software Consortium) in a lot of new and even exotic places, but in most such places you'll only hear one route from us.

In this presentation, Suzanne Woolf of ISC will explain what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what you can do about it.
