Abstract
A first computing device of a distributed cloud computing network receives an IP packet that is destined to an origin server of an origin network. The first computing device processes the received IP packet and encapsulates the IP packet inside an outer packet to generate an encapsulated packet, where the outer packet has a source IP address that is advertised as an anycast IP address at the distributed cloud computing network, and a destination IP address of an origin router of the origin network. The encapsulated packet is transmitted to the origin router.
