IP anycast routes packets to the topologically nearestserver according to BGP proximity. In the last years, new playershave started adopting this technology to serve web content viaAnycast-enabled CDNs (A-CDN). To the best of our knowledge,in the literature, there are studies that focus on a specific A-CDNdeployment, but little is known about the users and the servicesthat A-CDNs are serving in the Internet at large.This prompted us to perform a passive characterization study,bringing out the principal A-CDN actors in our monitored setup,the services they offer, their penetration, etc. Results show avery heterogeneous picture, with A-CDN empowered servicesthat are very popular (e.g., Twitter or Bing), serve a lot ofdifferent contents (e.g., Wordpress or adult content), and eveninclude audio/video streaming (e.g., Soundcloud, or Vine). Ourmeasurements show that the A-CDN technology is quite matureand popular, with more than 50% of web users that accesscontent served by a A-CDN during peak time |
