## Resource

Lucas and Luna dive into the engineering behind Low Earth Orbit satellite constellations and how they're changing internet backbone routing. They explain why Starlink's mesh network of thousands of satellites requires a new routing protocol called 'BGP in space,' how laser crosslinks between satellites reduce latency compared to fiber, and the challenge of handing off connections as satellites move at 17,000 miles per hour. They also discuss what this means for traditional undersea cable routes and the future of latency-sensitive applications like high-frequency trading. #LEOSatellites #Starlink #InternetBackbone #SatelliteRouting #BGP #BGPinSpace #LaserCrosslinks #Latency #UnderseaCables #HighFrequencyTrading #NetworkEngineering #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SpaceInternet #RoutingProtocol #MeshNetwork #LowEarthOrbit Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
