By the way, has there been any initial data from the near-month of
data being collected by users of
http://rip.psg.com/~randy/anycast_gatherer-1.4.tar.gz
...or where should we watch for more details, since presumably one
if not more locations of its announcement is not likely to be
re-visited by the authors?

My opinion extends to presuming that networks with issues visible
in off-net anycast are generally not deterministic in steady state
and fail the third need of goodput in the classic "paths must be
short, fast and stable" troika.
Cheers,
