Anycast IP Gateway BenefitsNEW!

The following list outlines the benefits of Anycast IP Gateway:

• Anycast IP Gateway uses the router with the shortest path.
• Anycast IP Gateway runs over the existing SPB network.
• Anycast IP Gateway load shares traffic between routers.
• Anycast IP Gateway routers use the existing IS-IS LSDB to advertise routing interface information to BEBs.
• BEBs forward traffic through the Layer 2 VSN to the closest router by using the SPB cost.
• BEBs react to SPB cost changes, and automatically select the closest router as the next hop.
• Anycast IP Gateway offers an alternative to VRRP, RSMLT, and DvR in campus deployments.
