Anycast and DNS in Latin America

Four points of presence. Packets stay in-region instead of hairpinning through Virginia. Same ASN name in every city.

Anycast

One service address, several cities. The nearest healthy node answers; the rest stay warm as backup.

Authoritative DNS

Answers originate in-region so the first lookup does not wait on a distant resolver chain.

Edge checks

Health probes and signed cookies run at the door. No detour to a core DC for the small stuff.

Peering

IX fabrics in the region. Transit is the fallback, not the default path.
