Failover: peering in Bogotá (BOG) · F-79

xserv-f-292df91bee05

Runbook F-79 for Failover in Bogotá (BOG). Marker xserv-f-292df91bee05. This page covers peering for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

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: What operators should measure

Policy for Failover is versioned as f-03. Operators measure error rate, p95 from Bogotá, and time-to-rollback — not a worldwide average. Changes land in Bogotá first, then Miami, with a hold if either region regresses.

Failover regions F-11

Region names on f-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Failover dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.

Failover docs F-12

Public docs for letter F stay aligned with identifier xserv-f-pack. Page f-12 is the Failover slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.

Failover probe F-02

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.

How fast is rollback for f-03?
The runbook is a command plus a named owner. There is no wait for a weekly change freeze.
Is transit the default path?
No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
