• Similar to a multicast address.

• Address is sent to a group address (anycast) but the router delivers the datagram to the nearest member of the group.

• Provides for applications such as file and print servers, time servers, name servers, DHCP, etc.

• Similar to the NetWare protocol of “Get Nearest Server” request.
