Hi Mauro, I'm glad to hear you are experimenting with our user ASes. I checked the picture of your network architecture and looks alright.

You can always test your hardware running a local topology, like "Tiny", and use our bandwidth tester to saturate a couple of BRs. * Can I as a SCIONLab User already use the path-awareness and > multipath features, So can I write my own path- and traffic policies?

There are not too many things right now that are aware of path policies; the SIG might be one (I don't know for sure); you could even modify your path server to use path policies right now (it's planned to extend it to do so, but it's not supported at the moment). * The same Question I have for the peering link feature.

Please try with e.g. netcat and let us know. Also run dpkg -l scion* and copy the output, to see what versions you have installed. I hope this helps. In any case, please send us back your experience, and we might continue discussing using our Matrix channel, or Slack. Thanks and best regards, Juan A. > > I will be very grateful for some answers.

Some Questions for diploma Thesis (SCIONLab)
by mauro.casanova＠canet.ch 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

Hi all I plan to set up a SCIONLab infrastructure as part of my thesis for HF graduation. The aim is to estimate the effort and feasibility for an SME company. After some first experience, I still have some questions for the realization. On this Link <https://1drv.ms/b/s!AkcX1uSBJ03I2gt7VUulVlVpS_iG?e=EgmpTo> you can found an small architecture overview. I will use the SCIONLab infrastructure to build this up. My Questions: * Is it possible to run the scion control service on a VM an the border router service on a separated device? So what is necessary to run just an border router? * Can I as a SCIONLab User already use the path-awareness and multipath features, So can I write my own path- and traffic policies? (The goal is to create some policies like in the presentation on SCION day from Samuel Hitz) If yes, where can I do this? * The same Question I have for the peering link feature. Is this for an SCIONLab user also available? And something else. After the update of SCIONlab my test AS run well (all necessary service are up, SCMP messages are ok), but also after a new installation the SCION Apps / Webapps are just running with failure. Is this an knowing issue, or have I install the wrong apps? I will be very grateful for some answers. Special to know if this test deployment is possible. Thanks for your effort. Best Regards Mauro

Kickstarter Project - Power Pi: A smart UPS for the Raspberry Pi
by David Hausheer 09 Apr '20

09 Apr '20

Dear SCIONLabers, our Secure IoT team at OVGU Magdeburg has launched a kickstarter project for our "Power Pi: A Smart UPS for the Raspberry Pi", which provides power supply to the Pi in power outage situations. It would be great if you could help us to spread this to people who you believe might be interested to back our project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjohn327/power-pi-a-smart-ups-for-the-… We are convinced that compared to similar products in the market, Power Pi is offered at a very competitive price without compromising on features such as a wide input voltage range and a high output current. P.S. The estimated delivery time already considers potential delays due to Covid-19, which we clarified with the manufacturer and shipping company. Thanks for your help and best regards, John, Vishnu, and David
