Intuitively prefixes announced at multiple locations in the BGP topology will have more potential paths than those announced conventionally. Again intuitively this would amplify instabilities inherent in BGP routing as used in the Internet today. The presentation combines measurements of anycasted DNS root service with observations of BGP routing to document the status quo and ask more questions.
