El Reg just published a useful article on SCION, although the headline is a little clickbaity. A few of my own thoughts on the matter: - The Internet, per se (the network of things which speak to each other using IPv4, IPv6, and their successors at layer 3), won't last forever. - Whatever follows the Internet will have to be developed and adopted, and that will take a lot of work over a long (meaning probably 30+ years) time. - Most projects fail. - That means that, whatever the merits and demerits of SCION, _many_ projects like it need to be underway, temporally overlapping. https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/17/switzerland_bgp_alternative/
