What does SCION stand for?

SCION is the abbreviation for “Scalability, Control and Isolation on Next-Generation Networks,” and thus captures the core of the technology: the scalability and performance of the solution, as well as control and isolation for users. It is designed to provide a more secure, reliable, and transparent Internet architecture by giving network operators and users greater control over routing paths, improving resilience against attacks and outages, and enabling predictable, high-performance communication across networks.
