- It faces significant challenges in gaining adoption.
- Network decisions are often driven by carrier costs.
- Strategic priorities may be overlooked in favor of cost considerations.
TAKEAWAYS
- SCION's adoption is hindered by the entrenched use of BGP.
- Cost considerations heavily influence network decision-making.
- Competing technologies must address both cost and strategic benefits.
- Overcoming cost-driven decisions is crucial for SCION's success.
