Starlink Constellation: Deployment, Configuration, and Dynamics

Collection of networking and communications research papers with several security- and operations-relevant findings: (1) Starlink Constellation: empirical characterization shows Starlink is highly dynamic and heterogeneous (multiple shells, frequent maneuvers, clustering, 4–6 year median lifespan), challenging static simulation assumptions and introducing operational/availability and collision-risk considerations for LEO-dependent services; (2) Internet-scale anomaly detection using controlled A/B comparisons of M-Lab measurements to isolate mid-path topology, routing-policy, and interconnect/
