Anycast Simulation with Dynamic Routing and High Availability

The Anycast Simulation project presents a highly resilient and fault-tolerant network architecture, where multiple servers share the same IP address. The system automatically directs client requests to the fastest responding server, ensuring low-latency connections. In the event of a server failure, failover mechanisms provide seamless continuity and high availability. The implementation leverages a combination of advanced networking protocols, including OSPF for dynamic routing and convergence, along with NAT, SLA IP Tracking, and BFD for robust high availability. The project also focuses on precise route manipulation using policy-based routing and route maps. Through real-time performance monitoring with tools like Nmap, this project ensures the network’s reliability and optimal performance. This project was completed in collaboration with my colleague Yaman Staif, contributing to its successful design and implementation.
