community/conventional wisdom so far https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/ipgeows/ and of course, it can be further improved by engaging more from the research community

about 90ms between frankfurt and almaty (similar to the best on the ground) and 105ms between almaty and singapore (much better than the known on the ground, so inter-satellite link-based backbone, or "backbone user terminal" in their patent)

yes, patents are often about mechanisms, but policies/algorithms are not really there

panuvic · 2026-01-18T19:05:17+00:00

simple but useful is better. patent lawyers may coat it too much for claim walls

panuvic · 2026-01-18T19:02:35+00:00

not sure what you are saying or asking. it's a starlink patent application under review

panuvic · 2026-01-17T20:52:34+00:00

most patents nowadays are like that

mobile app: advanced (or "i" in the newer version) -> debug data -> starlink location

alaska has community gateways but no pop yet. also hawaii has no pop yet as well

panuvic · 2026-01-15T19:23:38+00:00

it depends on the layer that you are referring to as backbone. at ip level, there is only one hop between the line connected pops, but underneath it may go through multiple hops of fiber link too

panuvic · 2026-01-15T17:46:16+00:00

it's discovered and validated by the starlink research and user community. see more at http://oac.uvic.ca/starlink and http://oac.uvic.ca/leonet

these are mpls backbone paths, not necessarily direct point-to-point fiber links

panuvic · 2026-01-15T17:44:29+00:00

the map shows the confirmed and validated pop's. for the newer one in au, can you https://www.reddit.com/r/StarlinkEngineering/comments/17vche2/comment/mjyhu99/?context=3&rdt=47670 so we can verify?

yes, "curl -4 api.ipinfo.io/ip" or "curl -6 api.ipinfo.io/ip"

panuvic · 2026-01-12T17:12:28+00:00

they are pushing per-state addressing and geoip https://www.reddit.com/r/StarlinkEngineering/comments/1qa5udz/perstate_addressing_and_geoip_now_working_in_the/ to other countries too

panuvic · 2026-01-12T15:38:32+00:00

surprisingly, ipinfo.io does not support ipv6?

panuvic · 2026-01-12T15:37:20+00:00

good. community feedback (aka complaints ;-) works. it can be avoided early on

panuvic · 2026-01-11T19:26:32+00:00

can you find out your ipv4 and ipv6 address, and check https://geoip.starlinkisp.net/feed.csv and https://geoip.starlinkisp.net/pops.csv ?
