We should be honest with respect to Anycast. Particularly strategy C which is in favor of location-based routing by exploiting geographical metrics CANNOT do Anycast in the IETF-classical sense. That would be the squaring of the circle. But there are other ways to deal with Anycast - see the way how emergency calls (911) are handled in ITU-T technology ( I also remember XCAST :-). If other strategies had also their difficulties with Anycast I wouldn't blame either. No one can do magic things. There are several holy cow paradigms in IETF technology. Anycast should be the least holy one. Heiner
