QoS: cache in Miami (MIA) · Q-80

Runbook Q-80 for QoS in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-q-cc8fffbe4171. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

QoS: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for QoS (q-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.

QoS: What operators should measure

Policy for QoS is versioned as q-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.

QoS: Failure modes we actually see

Capacity notes for q-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.

QoS capacity Q-04

Capacity notes for q-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.

QoS handoff Q-05

Handoff from letter Q QoS into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook q-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.

QoS rollback Q-06

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