Table of Contents

1. Introduction

The goal of this draft is two-fold: it tries to document lessons learned in deploying SCION to some if its productive early adopters, and it tries to tries to answer questions 2.7 - Operating a Path-Aware Network, and 2.8 - Deploying a Path-Aware Network posed in [RFC9217].

Note: This is the very first version of the SCION deployment draft, and it merely contains a skeleton of potential topics to be further discussed in this draft. Any feedback is welcome and much appreciated. Thanks!

2. Conventions and Definitions
