    For simple protocols like UDP that don't maintain state, Anycast is ideal and it has been used widely to load balance DNS for some time. At CloudFlare, we've done a significant amount of engineering to allow TCP to run across Anycast without flapping.

    Other companies have been doing it for years..

    Again, nothing but marketing BLAHBLAH... Really - CloudFlare did nothing good for me while I used them. They just caused more downtime than I could possibly cause myself by mistake.

    Yet other companies don't write interesting articles about it, explaining to the average interested guy how things work.
