Explore TCP protocol performance challenges in Starlink's satellite internet system through this 29-minute NANOG conference talk by APNIC's Geoff Huston. Dive into the technical analysis of how Starlink's unique characteristics - high jitter, variable channel capacity, and constant packet loss - impact network performance. Learn why switching from CUBIC to BBR flow control protocol dramatically improves throughput from 30Mbps to 200-250Mbps. Gain insights into the internal workings of Starlink's system and understand the fundamental factors affecting protocol behavior in satellite-based internet communications.
