Xiao Zhang,Tanmoy Sen,Zheyuan Zhang,Tim April,Balakrishnan Chandrasekaran,David Choffnes,Bruce M. Maggs,Haiying Shen,Ramesh K. Sitaraman,Xiaowei Yang +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present AnyOpt, a system that predicts anycast catchments by conducting pairwise experiments between sites peering with tier-1 networks, and demonstrate that their method is effective in a simplified model of BGP, consistent with common BGP routing policies.
