Understanding Anycast

Anycast is a networking technique where a single IP address is assigned to multiple servers in different geographical locations. When a client requests data from the anycast address, the request is routed to the closest server based on network conditions such as latency or traffic load. This improves efficiency and reduces the response time for end users accessing web services or applications.
