Runbook M-44 for Mesh in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-m-a531f38a5785. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Mesh: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for Mesh (m-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.
Mesh: What operators should measure
Policy for Mesh is versioned as m-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.
Mesh: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for m-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.
Mesh design M-01
Design for Mesh on letter M starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook m-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 Mesh on letter M share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Mesh stay isolated, so incident m-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
