Mesh: design in São Paulo (GRU) · M-73

Runbook M-73 for Mesh in São Paulo (GRU). Marker xserv-m-cd39eb5f97e9. This page covers design for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

Mesh: Why it matters on this continent

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.

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 rollback M-06

Rollback for m-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Mesh prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.

Mesh peering M-07

Peering for Mesh (m-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.

Mesh cache M-08

Cache rules for Mesh on m-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.

Mesh headers M-09

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