[Starlink] Stable Hierarchical Routing for Operational LEO Networks

[Hesham ElBakoury]

This is a new Mobicom 2024 paper [1] in which the authors "propose SHORT, a
Stable Hierarchical Orbital Routing Technique to decouple, localize, and
mask multi-dimensional dynamics from operational LEO networks. *SHORT*
takes a geographic paradigm to organize the LEO network as stable
hierarchical routing domains, split heterogeneous LEO
dynamics into each domain, mask them with domain-speci"c routing via
orbital-geodetic coordinates, and localize adaptions to orbital maneuvers,
random failures, and partial deployments. SHORT can work incrementally as a
control-plane overlay to enhance existing LEO routing proposals. Our
evaluations with the U.S. Space Surveillance Network datasets and prototype
validate SHORT’s near-optimal availability, efficiency, and resiliency in
operational LEO networks"
