Anapaya EDGE​

Anapaya EDGE enables enterprises and other organizations to connect their existing networks to the SCION Internet. It is deployed at the network edge and uses IP-in-SCION tunneling to encapsulate standard IP traffic into SCION packets. This allows existing applications to function over the SCION network without modification. The EDGE product also utilizes SCION's path control and multipathing capabilities, allowing network administrators to select specific network paths to optimize for performance or reliability.

Anapaya CORE​

Anapaya CORE is used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to build the backbone of the SCION Internet. It implements the core routing functionalities, managing path discovery, validation, and forwarding between different network providers. ISPs deploy Anapaya CORE to establish the foundational infrastructure of the SCION Internet, creating a robust and secure inter-domain routing infrastructure.

Anapaya GATE​

Anapaya GATE is a solution for service providers to offer SCION connectivity to their residential and business customers. Deployed within the ISP's backbone, it provides functionality similar to the Anapaya EDGE but is designed to operate at a larger scale. It manages the tunneling of customer traffic onto the SCION network, extending its benefits to end-users. Anapaya GATE is designed to provide organizations with a more secure, reliable, and controllable way to connect their critical online services to the Internet.

Anapaya PathGuard​

Anapaya PathGuard makes critical services invisible on the network. The service runs in a hidden SCION AS behind Anapaya EDGE appliances. Only authorized users get the path segments to the AS, so only they can reach the service. The users connect through SCION Network Access Points (SNAPs) at their ISPs, from a native app with the SCION SDK, from a browser with the PathGuard Web SDK, or with the PathGuard VPN Client.

Anapaya CONSOLE​

Anapaya CONSOLE is the management platform for the Anapaya product suite. It provides a centralized interface for the configuration, monitoring, and operation of CORE, EDGE, and GATE appliances. Administrators use the CONSOLE to manage network policies, monitor traffic, and oversee the health of the entire Anapaya and SCION deployment.
