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.

Measurement Setup

The architecture consists of a Client connected to Starlink at Stanford University, which continuously pings a Server connected to a terrestrial network. 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.
