Research on Anycast for Lighting Control System

Advantages and disadvantages of traditional for lighting control system are firstly analyzed. Defects in data transport among lighting devices in lighting control system is also pointed out. Low available bandwidth and low reliability are the two key factors. So anycast is introduced into lighting control system. Alternate employment of broadcast, unicast, multicast and anycast are proposed, which makes lighting control system adapt to the development of Web technology, the defects will be overcame efficiently. Reliability and high available bandwidth for data transport are easily realized. The strategy has a good profile in lighting control system in the future.
