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"?

It sounds great. I wish him the best of luck rolling it out!

One day some cool new IT tech will come out of Switzerland without it being an ETH Zürich thing. Not saying that that's a bad thing but it's almost comical how one can read such headlines, think "that's probably coming out of ETHZ" and be correct most times. I guess a lot of american IT comes out of MIT, Switzerland is way smaller so it makes sense that there's an even larger bias towards one institute.

Wonder how wide SCION will spread, so far it sounds like it's being used by the Swiss Financial Sector (ugh, even more stereotypical now).

There's some pretty cool stuff (and startups) out of EPFL!

It's also seeing some adoption in the healthcare sector.
