I was only involved in the original thread because F-X claimed that draft-iab-anycast-arch-implications (now RFC 7094) allows the use of anycast addresses for TCP, which is not what RFC 7094 is saying. There is no recommendation concerning TCP in the RFC and the situation is rather unclear. Cheers, Christoph
