Runbook G-68 for Gateway in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-g-1dc95528cc7d. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

Gateway: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for Gateway (g-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.

Gateway: What operators should measure

Policy for Gateway is versioned as g-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.

Gateway: Failure modes we actually see

Capacity notes for g-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.

Gateway design G-01

Design for Gateway on letter G starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook g-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.

Is transit the default path?
No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
Does Gateway on letter G share fate with other letters?
The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Gateway stay isolated, so incident g-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
