“The biggest, single goal for Starlink from a technical standpoint is<br>
to get the mean latency below 20 milliseconds,” Musk said.<br>
<br>
mean latency is a somewhat wrong goal. It misses the impact of slow<br>
start. I figure he is mostly describing the difficult layer 2 work it<br>
requires to accomplish that, everything from doing sat handoffs and<br>
rerouting stuff on the ground, to needing more ground stations, which<br>
is indeed a giant task. I keep hoping that in particular they get<br>
away from the "recalculate connectivity and bandwidth every 15<br>
seconds", into something more responsive for normal traffic. DNS<br>
servers on the sats would help too! and does not fit into the concept<br>
of "mean latency" at all.<br>
<br>
... and me, all I want to see is cake on the "glitchy", fq_codel on<br>
the wifi, and for them to find some way to leverage at least some of<br>
the techniques in LibreQos (like ebpf and cake) to somehow manage<br>
their downlinks better.<br>
<br>
It does look like they are now achieving sub 30ms latency to 1.1.1.1<br>
in some places for dns.<br>
