Jitter: design in São Paulo (GRU) · J-37

Runbook J-37 for Jitter in São Paulo (GRU). Marker xserv-j-429fa6019998. This page covers design for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

Jitter: Why it matters on this continent

Design for Jitter on letter J starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook j-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.

Jitter: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for Jitter (j-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.

Jitter: What operators should measure

Policy for Jitter is versioned as j-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.

Jitter peering J-07

Peering for Jitter (j-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.

Jitter cache J-08

Cache rules for Jitter on j-08 keep language-correct objects near Miami. São Paulo is a sibling cache, not an origin. TTLs are short enough that a bad asset does not live through a weekend.

Jitter headers J-09

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

Jitter timeouts J-10

Timeouts on j-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. Jitter in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.
