The Starlink team has implemented a number of improvements since our last update. Below are some of the key highlights: *Starlink Expansion* Since rollout of initial U.S. service in October 2020, Starlink now offers limited beta service in Canada, U.K., Germany and New Zealand. To date, we have deposits from almost every country around the world; going forward, our ability to expand service will be driven in large part by governments granting us licensing internationally. *Preventative Maintenance* Recently some beta users saw short but more frequent outages, particularly in the evening hours. This was caused by two main issues— preventive maintenance on various ground gateways, coupled with a network logic bug that intermittently caused some packet processing services to hang until they were reset. The good news is fixes were implemented and users should no longer see this particular issue. Gateway Availability As more users come online, the team is seeing an increase in surges of activity, particularly during peak hours. The gateway infrastructure to support these types of surges is in place, but we are awaiting final regulatory approval to use all available channels. Near term fixes have been implemented to facilitate better load balancing in the interim, and this issue will fully resolve once all approvals are received. *Dynamic Frame Allocation* The Starlink software team recently rolled out our dynamic frame allocation feature which dynamically allocates additional bandwidth to beta users based on real time usage. This feature enables the network to better balance load and deliver higher speeds to the user. *Connecting to the Best Satellite* Today, your Starlink speaks to a single satellite assigned to your terminal for a particular period of time. In the future, if communication with your assigned satellite is interrupted for any reason, your Starlink will seamlessly switch to a different satellite, resulting in far fewer network disruptions. There can only be one satellite connected to your Starlink at any time, but this feature will allow for choice of the best satellite. This feature will be available to most beta users in April and is expected to deliver one of our most notable reliability improvements to date. These upgrades are part of our overall effort to build a network that not only reaches underserved users, but also performs significantly better than traditional satellite internet. To that end, the Starlink team is always looking for great software, integration and network engineers. If you want to help us build the internet in space, please send your resume to *starlinksoftwarejobs at spacex.com *. Thank you for your feedback and continued support!

Here's the registration link if you want to attend. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kttdWD8mQAOnaUW4mlDdXg The script can do packet capture. But the captures get really big (15 GB) really quick if I capture data since I don't have the ability to set packet capture filters. Limiting the capture to mgmt frames only yields a more reasonable sized capture. I've attached a capture. It has four Intel AX200-based STAs close to the router (ASUS GT-AX11000). One STA associated at a time. STAs are set as one 2 stream AX, one single stream AC, one dual-stream N and one single stream N.

It needs to be qualified by one way delay as a starting point. Hence the definition of "network power" by Jaffe in 1979.
