Ummm, well, this is a damn fast plane if it will reach another continent 1843 times per day (or even "per week")... - which should be the only time the BGP announcement moves.

Sounds more like "the BGP-follows-plane system has some stability problems".

Nack.

Probably they are using low or medium earth orbit satellites, which _are_ damn fast in orbit. Otherwise the round trip time would be unacceptably high.

I believe that all Connexion support is / was from geostationary satellites.

As the whole thing is 3D, some of them might have contact to ground stations on this or the other side of the great lake, depending on their 3D position, even thru the plane travels on a well defined track (probably a 3D circle, too) in just one direction only.

Ceterum censeo: Nevertheless this moving-clients application shows some demand for a true-location-independend IP-addresses announcement feature (provider independend "roaming") in IPv6, as in v4 (even thru this isn't the "standard" way, but Connexion is anything but standard). Shim etc. is not sufficient ...

That seems like a reasonable conclusion.
