APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ROUTING INFORMATION ABOUT ANYCAST TO SUPPOT IPV6 ANYCAST SERVICE

摘要

A routing apparatus for supporting an IPv6 anycast service and a method thereof are provided. The anycast routing apparatus includes: a receiving unit receiving a neighbor discovery protocol (NDP) message; a routing entry unit adding or deleting a host route for an IPv6 anycast address and a neighbor entry for the IPv6 anycast address according to the NDP message, if the NDP message includes the IPv6 anycast address; and an anycast address manager managing the host route or the neighbor entry according to a neighbor unreachability detection (NUD) process. Accordingly, an IPv6 anycast address can be transmitted between a host and a router, thereby configuring routing information effectively.
