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 - affect data transmission speeds. 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 architecture and its significant impact on network protocol performance.
