Re: [Starlink] SpaceX: "IMPROVING STARLINK’S LATENCY" (via Nathan Owens)

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

I am deeply appreciative of everyones efforts here over the past 3
years, and within starlink burning the midnight oil on their 20ms
goal, (especially nathan!!!!) to make all the progress made on their
systems in these past few months. I was so happy to burn about 12
minutes, publicly, taking apart Oleg's results here, last week:

But couldn't then and still can't talk better to the whys and the
problems remaining. (It's not a kernel problem, actually)

As for starlink/space support of us, bufferbloat.net, and/or lowering
latency across the internet in general, I don't know. I keep hoping a
used tesla motor for my boat will arrive in the mail one day, that's
all. :)

It is my larger hope that with this news, all the others doing FWA,
and for that matter, cable, and fiber, will also get on the stick,
finally. Maybe someone in the press will explain bufferbloat. Who
knows what the coming days hold!?

In the United States alone, we reduced median latency by more than 30%, from 48.5ms to 33ms during hours of peak usage. Worst-case peak hour latency (p99) has dropped by over 60%, from over 150ms to less than 65ms. Outside of the United States, we have also reduced median latency by up to 25% and worst-case latencies by up to 35%...
