Starfield uses a traffic-derived Riemannian metric on the satellite shell to select demand-aware ISLs, yielding up to 30% fewer hops and 15% better stretch than grid topologies in Starlink Phase 1 simulations.
Another technical difficulty that arises is that it is possible for only a subset of the satellites to be connected in the above construction
