Peering: docs in Miami (MIA) · P-48

xserv-p-98fb38be4e3d

Runbook P-48 for Peering in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-p-98fb38be4e3d. This page covers docs for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

Peering: A note on cost and transit

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

Peering: Why it matters on this continent

Design for Peering on letter P starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook p-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.

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 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.

Peering docs P-12

Public docs for letter P stay aligned with identifier xserv-p-pack. Page p-12 is the Peering slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.

Is transit the default path?
No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
Does Peering on letter P share fate with other letters?
The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Peering stay isolated, so incident p-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
