Oops, forgot one important thing: Sure, why do additional hops if you can see the base station. But what about shared state? Why do you definitely still get a completely new session when moving to the next sat? If the laser links are working, that state should be shared between neighboring sats.

- inemesitaffia 1y agoYou're not getting new sessions period.
- inemesitaffia 1y agoStarlink switches beams every 15 seconds and satellites every 120 seconds. You keep your sessions through both. Lasers or no lasers
- lxgr 1y agoInter-satellite links simply provide additional (time-variant) paths, which doesn't inherently relate to shared state. You seem to be under the impression that inter-satellite links somehow imply a self-organizing mesh topology that preserves terminal-to-gateway associations at any cost (including that of extra in-space hops), but that does not necessarily follow from the existence of ISLs. In other words, your observation of occasional routing instability causing higher-layer issues is perfectly compatible with working ISLs.
