Research on K-Anycast Routing Schemes for IPv6

Abstract

This Paper deeply analyzes and studies the existing problems in the any cast communication models in an IPv6 network and proposes a k-Any cast routing schemes for IPv6 network which are fault tolerance, load balancing, security, and improvement in system performance. In addition, this paper proposes a concrete scheme on how to implement this k-Any cast communication model in an IPv6 network which is applied to the distributed-file downloading service in an IPv6 emulation environment. The experimental data prove the k-Any cast communication model’s validity, feasibility and practicability.
