<div dir="ltr">Because of the need for frequent link changes
in the Starlink network, there will be a need for more
buffering than your typical (relatively) static network. Not
only because the load changes quickly, but because the
capacity does as well. This causes rapid changes in the
load-to-capacity-ratio, which will cause queues and/or
packet loss unless it's planned <i>really</i> well. I'm not
going to say that is impossible, but it's certainly hard. <br>
