Network: design in São Paulo (GRU) · N-13
xserv-n-28f78b420cde
Runbook N-13 for Network in São Paulo (GRU). Marker xserv-n-28f78b420cde. This page covers design for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Network: Why it matters on this continent
Design for Network on letter N starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook n-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.
Network: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for Network (n-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.
Network: What operators should measure
Policy for Network is versioned as n-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.
Network handoff N-05
Handoff from letter N Network into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook n-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
Network rollback N-06
Rollback for n-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Network prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
Network peering N-07
Peering for Network (n-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.
Network cache N-08
Cache rules for Network on n-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.
- Does Network on letter N share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Network stay isolated, so incident n-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
- Where is Network measured first?
- From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter N.
