Summary:Systems and methods utilize network destination identifiers, such as IP addresses, that are simultaneously advertised from multiple locations. The network destination identifiers may be announced in multiple geographic regions. Network traffic routed to devices advertising the network destination identifiers may be routed to appropriate endpoints. When a device receives such traffic, it may send the traffic to an endpoint in a network served by the device. In some instances, such as when such an endpoint is not available, the network traffic may be sent to another network that is served by another device that advertises the network destination identifiers.
