[Starlink] capturing some cake-mq requirements

I have been writing down some requirements for a new version of the
CAKE qdisc based on observed results from the field.

I apologize for the somewhat random nature of this (and there are a
great deal of outstanding comments on it - we seem to be seeing some
issues with steam and ecn),
I tend to write first and polish later. I started putting in some
observations about starlink´s behaviors and how to possibly fix them,
towards the end, in thinking about adding a "plug" facility to it in
particular.

Anyway, if you don´t feel like wading through that mess:

In looking over my starlink data accumulated in the last couple weeks
I am seeing that 70ms spike more regularly, and I am curious if it is
appearing in other data?

Why are the steps in baseline latency are so large? Could they be
doing something further to delay the packets and deal with the doppler
that way?

I keep hoping that a good video conferencing analysis tool would show
up that would show glitches per minute and the recovery period for
each glitch.
