Introduction - - TCP is statefull, this is a big problem, because every anycast server - has to know the tcp state. The TCP state has to be synced between - the servers, that meens a lot of overhead. To keep this amount small - and therefor make anycast TCP connections efficient some tricks MUST - be used. This is considered to be a real hack, so it is not - recommendid to use this mode unless it is really necessary. It might - for instance be necessary to build connection trough special kind of - NAT routers or firewalls. - -1.2. Reducing syncronisaton overhead - -1.2.1. Fragmentation - - The only way of fully supporting fragmentation would be to syncronise - fragments between all anycast servers. This is considered to be to - much overhead, so there are two non perfect solutions for this - problems. Either fragmentation HAS TO be disabled or if not all - fragments arrive at the same server the ip datagramm HAS TO be - discarded. As routing changes are not expected to occure very - frequently, the ip datagram will get retransmitted by TCP and all - fragments will arrive at the new server. - -1.2.2. sequence number - - It is nessarary to send tcp segments with a correct sequence number, - that appear to come from the same host, in order to get a valid - connecton to the client. Syncronisation of sequence numbers would - mean to much overhead, so it hast to be provided by the relayed data. - The relayed data from the anycast serveres point of view, consits of - multible datastream, each directed from one client to anotherIn - tunneling mode all anytun packets from the client - -1.3. keep alive message request - - Most NAT routers need a tcp connection to transmit some packets once - in while to stay open. In full anycast tcp mode anytun hast to - predict the tcp state including the sequence number. Synconisation - of the sequence number would be to much overhead, so a keep alive - intervall is agreed. This interval is used to calculate the sequemce - number. - - - - - - - -Gsenger Expires September 2, 2007 [Page 3] - -Internet-Draft Anycast TCP stream relaying March 2007 - - -Appendix A.
