Unless they install certs on client devices how are they going to attack the TLS connections?

FWIW, that was not why P2P connections were reset way back when. It was at root a bufferbloat issue, confounded by a lot of bad responses to & misunderstandings of the issue at that time. ;-)

 

But you do raise an interesting point that what’s considered a reasonable network management practice differs by type of access network – which we can see in the US between wired and wireless access network practices. What may become standard practice in LEO access networks is still emerging I suppose.

I’d guess the fastest path to deploy a MVP was to keep the edge access device as simple as possible and not worry about testing lots of permutations. So getting to market with 1 device makes sense IMO. What the future holds is anyone’s guess – but ISTM they are still fairly early in deployment.
