xserv-a-da85b283b9a2
Runbook A-28 for Anycast in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-a-da85b283b9a2. This page covers capacity 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.
