11-Day Starlink Ping Measurements Dataset (Palo Alto, US, May 2024)

This dataset contains 11 days of ICMP ping measurements collected from a Starlink dish located in Palo Alto, US. The measurements were conducted as part of an evaluation of Starlink's network performance. If you use this dataset, please cite: "L. Borgianni, D. Adami, S. Giordano and C.

By analyzing traceroute results and the locations of Starlink's ground stations (GSs), we identified that the connection path includes a GS and a Point of Presence (PoP) in San Jose, US, approximately 50 km from Stanford University. Dataset Details Measurement period: May 9–20, 2024 (11 days) Sampling method: Bursts of 10 ICMP packets every 10 seconds Location: Palo Alto, US (Client) → Terrestrial Server Infrastructure: Starlink user terminal (dish) Identified GS and PoP in San Jose, US This dataset can be used for network performance analysis, latency modeling, and evaluating satellite internet variability.
