A continuous LEO satellite service needs to hop across a continual sequence of satellites as they pass overhead and switch the virtual circuit path across to successive satellites as they come into view of both the end user and the user’s designated Earth station.
Minimum latency changes regularly every 15 seconds: "It appears that this change correlates to the Starlink user's terminal being assigned to a different satellite.
