    Description
    We review the boundary state approach to stable non-BPS branes of type I string theory in the light of the open descendants construction. We describe the main results obtained, their matching with heterotic/type I duality and compare with the K-theory predictions. We then discuss the interactions of these branes with bulk open strings.
