[AfriNIC-rpd] AFPUB-2006-GEN-001 and Anycast

[Mauritz Lewies]

100% 

In most (I won't say all as I might miss a specific design scenario) the intention with Anycast would be to advertise the same range from multiple geographic locations. 
Without a PI allocation this is not possible.

So technically this should supersede the minimum /25 requirement (as long as the Anycast design is valid)?

Perhaps the desire of the anycast service to announce the same address space from multiple geographical locations counts as a better reason than the desire of the small business to announce the same address space to multiple upstream ISPs from the same geographical location.
