FABRID Global Policies for SCIONLab

This repository contains a mapping of global policies to policy descriptions for FABRID in SCIONLab. Each policy is stored in JSON format in their own file.

Overview

FABRID is a framework for SCION that allows AS operators to announce policies for their intra-AS paths. These policies can be thought of as additional path constraints: an end host can select a policy during path selection, which will ensure that their data packets are only forwarded over the policy-compliant intra-AS Path. An example of such a policy would be to denote a high-bandwidth intra-AS path or a low-latency intra-AS path. For more details about the design and functionality of FABRID, please refer to the FABRID Design Document.

Repository Structure

Each policy is represented as a JSON file with the following format:

{
    "description": "Test policy"
}

This policy structure may be extended in the future with arbitrary attributes.

File Naming Convention

• Each file should be named according to their policy identifier e.g. for G1234 1234.json.

Usage

Adding a Policy

There currently is no procedure for controlling the accepted policies. This may be added in the future.

1. Create a new JSON file in the repository following the structure mentioned above.
2. Add your desired policy description.

Validating a Policy

Ensure that your JSON policy files are valid and conform to the expected schema. Use tools such as jq to validate the file structure.

jq '.' your_policy.json
