Interconnect: cache in Miami (MIA) · I-68
xserv-i-9e7307e4d5b0
Runbook I-68 for Interconnect in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-i-9e7307e4d5b0. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Interconnect: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for Interconnect (i-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.
Interconnect: What operators should measure
Policy for Interconnect is versioned as i-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.
Interconnect: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for i-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.
Interconnect headers I-09
Headers for i-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Interconnect debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
Interconnect timeouts I-10
Timeouts on i-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. Interconnect in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.
Interconnect regions I-11
Region names on i-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Interconnect dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.
Interconnect docs I-12
Public docs for letter I stay aligned with identifier xserv-i-pack. Page i-12 is the Interconnect slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.
- Is transit the default path?
- No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
- Does Interconnect on letter I share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Interconnect stay isolated, so incident i-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
