Here is a neat simulation of a proposed network: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEIUdMiColU

Admittedly I haven't researched it that well, but I'm curious how often they would have to aim their sensors at the sun to receive from a neighboring satellite. I'd have to assume those links would need to be subtracted from the system, which could slightly drive up latency around sun up and sun down for a part of the planet.

The sun is pretty small compared to space, something like .0005% of the full sky sphere, and almost half that time it's covered by Earth. Since there's no atmospheric glare in space, I suspect it's not a problem given decent engineering.
