Scion Research Says Firms Could Cut WAN Costs 80% With Security-First Protocol
1 articles · Updated · Telecompaper EN · May 18
Scion Association published research saying enterprises could cut WAN spending by up to 80% by replacing leased wide-area network links with Scion-based connectivity.
The Swiss non-profit argues the protocol improves security while still working with existing internet infrastructure, including IPv4, IPv6 and BGP, lowering migration barriers.
Scion is already deployed in the Swiss banking system, which the association cites as evidence the architecture can operate in demanding real-world environments.
The report positions Scion as an alternative to traditional leased enterprise WANs, tying cost savings to a broader push for more secure internet routing.
With its 91% cost savings, why haven't corporations already abandoned traditional networks for the ultra-secure Scion protocol?
Will Scion's secure 'internet-in-an-internet' lead to a more divided and controlled global network?
