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"?

Well, 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...
Yeah 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.
Open Source implementation: https://github.com/scionproto/scion
And that patent looks like it is for an optimization, not a necessary component of SCiON.
Quagga is fully dead. And neither of these is appropriate for SCION since it replaces much more of the Internet.
