Abstract
Described herein are techniques for routing communications to a destination node within a LEO satellite network. The techniques may comprise receiving, at a satellite node in a network of satellites, a communication directed to an address for a destination satellite, determining whether the satellite node is the destination satellite, upon determining that the satellite node is the destination satellite, transmitting the communication to a ground station in communication range of the satellite node, and upon determining that the satellite node is not the destination satellite: identifying, via a local routing table, a second satellite node associated with the address for the destination satellite, and forwarding the communication to the second satellite node.
