Messed up connectivity of root servers in India

Anurag Bhatia
Today I was showing a good friend - how root servers are working and how they are connected. I was explaining him anycasting and gave example of k-root node which is hosted in Delhi by niXi i.e National Internet Exchange of India. I was totally stunned to find traceroute result to anycasting based block of k-root-node hosted in Delhi from my BSNL connection. Checkout traceroute here. It seems like BSNL has gone totally wild in listening to announcements for 193.
