- This HotNets paper, reported on in New Scientist, shows that with a network of satellites forwarding satellite-to-satellite, of the sort that SpaceX is building, it’s possible to deliver data across long distances with lower latency than previously thought possible on *any* network. Significance: low-latency connectivity is vital to financial trading and interactive applications; provision of low-latency wide-area connectivity is considered one of the greatest remaining challenges in networking. Rigour: simulations of SpaceX’s full satellite deployment, including physics of orbit and properties of satellite-to-satellite links. Originality: first work to consider forwarding packets on constellations of thousands of moving satellites.
