What happened

This collection of networking research (arXiv, May 28 2026) covers measurement, design, and security for satellite/LEO (Starlink), cellular/UAV, 5G/6G, datacenter, and routing systems. Key findings include: Starlink access network uses drop-front buffer management (not per-flow fair queuing or drop-tail), which can reduce delay but interact poorly with loss-based congestion control; an open UAV measurement platform shows Starlink LEO links achieve much lower latency and higher downlink capacity than a major US cellular provider while higher flight altitudes increase handover rates and RTT asym
