Abstract

A new kind of Anycast communication model is proposed in this paper. Since this model adopts dynamic Anycast group with allowing Anycast members to freely leave and join Anycast group it radically solves the existing scalability problem. In addition, this model accomplishes the distributed maintenance and transaction of anycast service requests to perform the load balance. This paper deeply analyzes and discusses the feasibility and validity of the communication model, and the experimental data in IPv6 simulation demonstrate that the TRT of one anycast service (for example, file downloading) acquired through this communication model is shorter than the one through the existing anycast communication model.
