Jernej,

The answer I am usually getting to such a question is that "it depends". Sometimes the use of Anycast would be preferable and it is highly dependent on the networks each of the participants are on versus where the cloud servers are.

I suppose if connection between two peers is direct, i.e. without intermediate TURN or Media Server, then does Anycast have any advantage? Perhaps for the initial signalling connection using signalling server?

Not my expertise Carlos, but assuming what you say is correct, then DNS and CDN traffic are both prone to the same hijack issues, and I don’t believe that that is the case.

One comment: it seems to me that Anycast at the same time as it has resilience inside, it could be a soil for sabotage as well. What if someone set the same IP address of another server to his own and hijack the transmission of a package, disrupting the flow of communication? May be I am being naiv here and don't understand fully the mechanism of routers resolutions for traffic.
