Peering: cache in Miami (MIA) · P-08

Runbook P-08 for Peering in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-p-8c208469120d. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

Peering: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for Peering (p-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.

Peering: What operators should measure

Policy for Peering is versioned as p-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.

Peering: Failure modes we actually see

Capacity notes for p-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.

Peering cache P-08

Cache rules for Peering on p-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.

Peering headers P-09

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

Peering timeouts P-10

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

Peering regions P-11

Region names on p-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Peering dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.
