Failover: A note on cost and transit

Rollback for f-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Failover prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.

Failover: Why it matters on this continent

Design for Failover on letter F starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook f-01 keeps a single owner, a written rollback, and a traffic split that can be reversed without a global freeze. Neighbors in Santiago only take overflow after the local pool fails a health window.

Failover: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for Failover (f-02) leave Santiago every 15s toward Bogotá. XServ pages the named owner if loss or RTT crosses the letter budget. A probe never shares a queue with bulk transfers, so a saturated WAN does not hide a dead PoP.

Failover peering F-07

Peering for Failover (f-07) prefers the IX fabric that already carries last-mile ISPs in Bogotá. Session counts and prefix limits are on the same page as the Miami backup path.

Failover cache F-08

Failover headers F-09

Headers for f-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Failover debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
