SCION Five Years Later: Revisiting Scalability, Control, and Isolation on Next-Generation Networks
This work addresses network reliability and security problems for internet infrastructure, but it is incremental as it reviews and builds upon existing SCION research.
The paper revisits the SCION network architecture, which was designed to tackle availability, scalability, and security issues in the Internet, by providing a retrospective of its goals, design, and research highlights over five years.
The SCION (Scalability, Control, and Isolation on Next-generation Networks) inter-domain network architecture was proposed to address the availability, scalability, and security shortcomings of the current Internet. This paper presents a retrospective of the SCION goals and design decisions, its attacker model and limitations, and research highlights of work conducted in the 5 years following SCION's initial publication.
