Nice to see BGP getting called out. Meanwhile, the fact neither quagga nor frr nor bird SCION patches are available by googling 5 seconds — and they want "company like cisco"?
- rahkiin 7mo agoWell, SCION might not be open. No open standard, no IETF, no open source implementation, and its single commercial exploiter has patents on the technology: https://www.anapaya.net/news/path-selection-system-patent?hs_amp=true https://www.anapaya.net/news/path-selection-system-patent?hs...
- rzerowan 7mo agoYeah seems likethe business interests have overridden the adpotion needs. Knowing the IETF process is molasses slow , they still have not made moves to close that gap.For open source at least a implementation RFC that interested parties could work with - none avaiable. They want to sell a technically brillant protocol that is single vendor propriety/patent restricted. Their bet should have been of open protocol and captalizing on fist mover advantage to drive their business side witha large partner like ericsson/cisco etc. Of course theres also the soveriegnity angle knowing what went on with another swiss company CryptoAG.
- jbotz 7mo agoOpen Source implementation: https://github.com/scionproto/scion https://github.com/scionproto/scion And that patent looks like it is for an optimization, not a necessary component of SCiON.
- eqvinox 7mo agoQuagga is fully dead. And neither of these is appropriate for SCION since it replaces much more of the Internet.
