XhaulNetwork: Space Internet Exchange Points & Orbital BGP Peering

XhaulNetwork pioneers Space Internet Exchange Points (Space-IX), allowing competing satellite operators, defense agencies, and hyperscale cloud providers to interconnect and peer traffic directly in Low Earth Orbit.

XhaulNetwork Space-IX Multi-Operator Intersatellite Peering Fabric

Standardized optical optical cross-connects bridging autonomous systems (AS) in space

Central System: Constellation A (Operator AS1) - Optical inter-satellite terminal on autonomous system 1

Network Nodes

Constellation A (Operator AS1)
Orbital Space-IX Relay Satellite
Hyperscale Cloud Space Datacenter
Constellation B (Operator AS2)

Architectural Protocol Layers

Spaceborne PHY/MAC Layer (3GPP Rel-17 TS 38.300): Doppler compensation, HARQ disabling, and timing advance extension.
Orbital Mesh Routing (CCSDS / Delay-Tolerant Networking): Dynamic topology routing over intermittent laser crosslinks.
Regenerative Core Processing (OpenRAN / 3GPP CU-DU Split): Onboard user plane function (UPF) local breakout.

Key Metrics: < 18ms (LEO Orbit-to-Ground Roundtrip) | 100 Gbps (Optical Crosslink Throughput) | ±48 kHz (Doppler Shift Compensation) | 99.999% (Orbital Constellation Availability)
