Anycast: timeouts in Santiago (SCL) · A-34
xserv-a-cc6eef1f1e90
Runbook A-34 for Anycast in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-a-cc6eef1f1e90. This page covers timeouts for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Anycast: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for a-04 assume rainy-season power in Miami and festival peaks toward São Paulo. The failure we actually see is a single uplink, not a cartoon partition of the whole continent. Spare ports and a second provider sit on the same runbook.
Anycast: How this letter ties to the rest
Handoff from letter A Anycast into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook a-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
Anycast: A note on cost and transit
Rollback for a-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Anycast prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
Anycast headers A-09
Headers for a-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Anycast debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
Anycast timeouts A-10
Timeouts on a-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. Anycast in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.
Anycast regions A-11
Region names on a-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Anycast dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.
Anycast docs A-12
Public docs for letter A stay aligned with identifier xserv-a-pack. Page a-12 is the Anycast slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.
- Where is Anycast measured first?
- From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter A.
- How fast is rollback for a-03?
- The runbook is a command plus a named owner. There is no wait for a weekly change freeze.
