[PANRG] draft-dekater-scion-dataplane-00

[Nicola Rustignoli <[e-mail]>]

Dear PANRG, 

My colleague Corine and I have submitted draft-dekater-scion-dataplane-00 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dekater-scion-dataplane/>, describing SCION’s path-aware data plane. We now finally have a full set of drafts describing all of SCION’s core components: 
SCION Data Plane <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dekater-scion-dataplane/>
SCION Control Plane <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dekater-scion-controlplane/>
SCION Control-Plane PKI <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dekater-scion-pki/>

SCION Overview <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dekater-panrg-scion-overview/>
SCION Components Analysis <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rustignoli-panrg-scion-components/>

At the next PANRG meeting in Prague we are planning to have a bigger SCION discussion. We will present the latest drafts, and discuss a way forward for the SCION work. We are looking forward to your feedback, especially on the data and control plane drafts. Besides that, we are also planning to have a small hackathon project in Prague, we’ll be adding more information to the hackathon wiki <https://wiki.ietf.org/en/meeting/118/hackathon>.

Best, 
Corine de Kater, Nicola Rustignoli

> Abstract:
> 
>   This document describes the data plane of the path-aware, inter-
>   domain network architecture SCION (Scalability, Control, and
>   Isolation On Next-generation networks).  One of the basic
>   characteristics of SCION is that it gives path control to endpoints.
>   The SCION control plane is responsible for discovering these paths
>   and making them available as path segments to the endpoints.  The
>   responsibility of the *SCION data plane* is to combine the path
>   segments into end-to-end paths, and forward data between endpoints
>   according to the specified path.
> 
>   The SCION data plane fundamentally differs from today's IP-based data
>   plane in that it is _path-aware_: In SCION, interdomain forwarding
>   directives are embedded in the packet header.  This document first
>   provides a detailed specification of the SCION data packet format as
>   well as the structure of the SCION header.  SCION also supports
>   extension headers - these are described, too.  The document then
>   shows the life cycle of a SCION packet while traversing the SCION
>   Internet.  This is followed by a specification of the SCION path
>   authorization mechanisms and the packet processing at routers.  SCION
>   also includes its own protocol to communicate failures to endpoints,
>   the SCION Control Message Protocol (SCMP).  This protocol will be
>   described in a separate document, which will follow later.
