Abstract
With tens of thousands Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites covering Earth, LEO satellite networks can provide coverage and services that are otherwise not possible using terrestrial communication systems. The regular and dense LEO satellite constellation also provides new opportunities and challenges for network architecture and protocol design. In this paper, we propose a new routing strategy named Directed Percolation Routing (DPR), aiming to provide Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) services over long distances. Given the long propagation delay and uncertainty of LEO communication links, using DPR, each satellite routes a packet over several Inter-Satellite-Links (ISLs) towards the destination, without relying on link-layer retransmissions. Considering the link redundancy overhead and delay/reliability tradeoff, DPR can control the size of percolation. Using the Starlink as an example, we demonstrate that with the proposed DPR, the inter-continent propagation delay can be reduced by about 4 to 21 ms, while the reliability can be several orders higher than single-path optimal routing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
