One of the things I learned today was that starlink has published an extensive guide as to how existing BGP AS holders can peer with them to get better service. I am curious if there is a way to see how many have peered already, how many they could actually peer with?, and progress over time since inception.... is there a tool for that?
https://starlink-enterprise-guide.readme.io/docs/peering-with-starlink This is increasingingly off topic and too technical for the nnagain mailing list (aside from documenting its impact and importance for network resilience), is there a better email list to discuss ixp stuff?
