[techtalk] Anycast on IPV6

[cmcanally at ticnet.com]

This isn't very Linux specific, actually it has nothing to do with Linux at
all.  I've been reviewing the IPV6 specs (the 128 bit address space
proposed to replace the current 32bit IPV4 addresses), and I can't figure
out what the anycast field in the IPV6 header is for.  Does anyone know?

Perhaps a more interesting question is, "Does anyone care since IPV6 is
still undeployed?"
