Single Presentation - 25 min Towards a Federated Anycast Network It's Always DNS

Description

In this presentation, we propose the creation of a federated anycast network run by NRENs.

Anycast networks are widely used in the DNS infrastructure, NTP services, content delivery networks, certificate authorities, and distributed denial of service(DDoS) mitigation.

On the creation of any federated services, the biggest challenge is centered on political and laws issues. But, the technical feasibility and limitations are the first step.

Here we discuss the requirements needed to build such infrastructure focusing on safety, resilience, privacy, and domain isolation. We provide an overview of opportunities, risks, and challenges. We also briefly present some tools planned to meet such requirements to better demonstrate what can be done using such infrastructure.
