xserv-f-d74ac9e84740
Runbook F-64 for Failover in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-f-d74ac9e84740. This page covers capacity for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Failover: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for f-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.
Failover: How this letter ties to the rest
Handoff from letter F Failover into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook f-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
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.

- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Failover stay isolated, so incident f-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
