[LibreQoS] Starlink Standby Mode

[LibreQoS] Starlink Standby Mode

[Luis A. Cornejo]

Here is an interesting debloated Starlink in stand by mode connection. It's
actually quite usable for basic stuff like email, texting, Wifi Calling on
cell, it even streams youtube at 240p which is quite watchable with minimal
bufferbloat. The debloating grade is a fairly constant C grade.

egress status:
qdisc cake 805f: root refcnt 2 bandwidth 450Kbit diffserv4 dual-srchost nat
nowash ack-filter split-gso rtt 100ms noatm overhead 48 mpu 72

ingress status:
qdisc cake 8060: root refcnt 2 bandwidth 450Kbit diffserv4 dual-dsthost nat
nowash ingress no-ack-filter split-gso rtt 100ms noatm overhead 48 mpu 72

I haven't tweaked the overhead and mpu as those are what I use for my LTE
based main WAN.

Not bad for $5/mo, pretty decent backup for comms, I wish Starlink let us a
la cart upgrade the bandwidth in chunks; like if I can get .5/.5mbps for
$5, can I get 2/1 for $10, or 4/2 for $15 etc...

Cheers!

or you can bond two or more 0.5/0.5mbps dishes in standby mode for
1/1, 2/2, and so on?
