      <abstract>
	 <t>   Emerging satellite Internet constellations such as SpaceX&#x27;s Starlink
   deploy thousands of broadband satellites and construct LEO satellite
   networks (LSNs) in space, significantly expanding the boundaries of
   today&#x27;s terrestrial Internet.  However, due to the unique global LEO
   dynamics, satellite routers inevitably pass through uncontrolled
   areas, suffering from security threats.  It is important for
   satellite network operators (SNOs) to enable verifiable risk-
   avoidance routing to identify path anomalies.

   This document specifies StarVeri, a network path verification
   framework tailored for emerging LSNs.  StarVeri addresses the
   limitations of existing crypto-based and delay-based verification
   approaches and accomplishes efficient and accurate path verification
   through: (i) a segment-based verification protocol that divides paths
   into verifiable segments using dynamic satellite relays; and (ii) a
   hybrid verification approach combining cryptographic authentication
   with adaptive delay thresholds to verify each segment.
