I think "core" has a different meaning when the box doing the routing is in
LEO or even geosync orbit. It's not going to be some behemoth pushing
10GigE, it's going to be a hardened box pushing packets to either the moon,
mars, or in-transit craft via RF or laser (depending on bandwidth
requirements). I would think weight would be on par with something such as
the Hubble (perhaps even lighter).
