Hi, I'm currently working on packet simulation analysis over large LEO
constellations such as Starlink, and I do have a few questions on the
Starlink commodity terminals and ISL.
1) Is the commodity hardware capable of forming multiple GSL channels
to multiple satellites? If it's not possible, is it possible that the
hardware allows multiple downlink but only one uplink?
Based on our observations, no to both questions - one sat at a time.
We've noticed that power use goes up with observed downlink rate,
though. Mike Puchol might be able to comment a bit more here as he's
tried to get between Dishy and the birds.
We don't know if this is a hardware limitation or a software limitation, what we
can observe is that currently it doesn't appear to do multiple connections.
