Anycast

Anycast is a networking technique where multiple servers share the same IP address, and data is routed to the nearest or most available server based on network conditions. Think of it as having several offices with the same address; mail or packages are directed to the closest or best location for quick delivery. This improves speed, reliability, and load distribution for services like content delivery or DNS resolution, ensuring users connect to the best possible server without needing to know or specify a particular one.
