Abstract:

   This document describes the Control Plane of the path-aware, inter-
   domain network architecture SCION (Scalability, Control, and
   Isolation On Next-generation networks).  A fundamental characteristic
   of SCION is that it gives path control to SCION-capable endpoints
   that can choose between multiple path options, thereby enabling the
   optimization of network paths.  The SCION Control Plane is
   responsible for discovering these paths and making them available to
   the endpoints.

   The SCION Control Plane creates and securely disseminates path
   segments between SCION Autonomous Systems (AS) which can then be
   combined into forwarding paths to transmit packets in the data plane.
   This document describes mechanisms of path exploration through
   beaconing and path registration.  In addition, it describes how
   Endpoints construct end-to-end paths from a set of possible path
   segments through a path lookup process.

   This document contains new approaches to secure path aware
   networking.  It is not an Internet Standard, has not received any
   formal review of the IETF, nor was the work developed through the
   rough consensus process.  The approaches in this work are offered to
   the community for its consideration in the further evolution of the
   Internet.
