How SCION Compares to Traditional Internet
A Side-by-Side Comparison of Security, Control, and Performance
SCION
Traditional Internet
Security
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌Vulnerable to attacks like DDoS, prefix hijacking, and spoofing.
Control
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌Limited control over data paths; relies on predefined routes.
Reliability
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌Single points of failure; less reliable during outages or attacks.
Isolated Domains (ISDs)
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌No concept of ISDs; limited trust management and scalability.
Performance
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌Variable performance; dependent on traffic and network congestion.
Interoperability
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌Rigid structure; challenging to integrate with new protocols.
Path Transparency
.png){kind=small}
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌Lack of transparency; users have no control over data routing.
Scalability
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌Limited scalability due to traditional routing protocols.
Deployment Incentives
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌No direct incentives for enhanced security or performance.
Extensibility
✅Robust security against prefix hijacking, DDoS,and spoofing.
❌Difficult to extend without significant changes to infrastructure.
