SCIONLab upgrade completed

[perrig]

Dear SCIONLab users

SCIONLab is back up and operational! Our apologies for the delay, but we wanted to make the system as useful as possible.

Some of the new features include:

• Exciting topology. We have a global topology with 9 isolation domains (CH, EU, US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Amazon AWS).
  
• The topology has many cross-links, enabling exciting opportunities for multi-path communication.
  
• Four attachment points you can connect your AS to: ETH (Zürich, CH), OvGU (Magdeburg, DE), Wisconsin (US), Korea University (KOR).
  
• Now up to 5 ASes can be configured per user account.
  
• Prometheus infrastructure monitoring that is visualized via Grafana.
  
• Several public services (e.g., bandwidth tester) you can interact with.
  
• SCION QUIC socket (we have a SCION SSH application that uses it).
  
• Automatic update procedure. As the SCION network matures, future updates will be relatively seamless (with at most a brief outage).

To use SCIONLab, you can register an account at this URL:

https://www.scionlab.org (Note: existing accounts have been migrated to the new SCIONLab coordinator website)

You can then set up your AS in a VM on your local machine. Instructions are included in the file provided by SCIONLab.

More detailed instructions are available in the SCION tutorials.

Please post a message if you have any comments or questions.

Best regards,

Your SCIONLab team
