Definition: anycast


A technique for updating routing tables in IPv6, the next generation of IP addressing. Anycast sends a message to the nearest router within a group. That router in turn sends it to its nearest router. Starting in 2003, additional root servers on the Internet were replicated using the Anycast method. See IPv6 and root server.
