Uh huh. The numbers are clear: 99.99% of the time it works. The other 0.01% of the time you're screwed and had better pray the user is one of the ones you can afford to lose. Unicast TCP breaks too, but it has the virtue of being fixable 100% of the = time. > Besides, you seem to not have read what I actually posted.

If you read what Joe wrote, he doesn't currently have an AS number or employ BGP with his Internet providers. Extrapolate for his IPv4 assignment situation and the /24 announcement barrier. In an IPv4-depleted world, he won't be doing anycast any time soon, even if it was a sound plan.
