The Port Control Protocol (PCP) anycast addresses enable PCP clients
to transmit signaling messages to their closest PCP-aware on-path
NAT, firewall, or other middlebox without having to learn the IP
address of that middlebox via some external channel. This document
establishes one well-known IPv4 address and one well-known IPv6
address to be used as PCP anycast addresses.
This document is a product of the Port Control Protocol Working Group of the
IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
