Runbook R-08 for Routing in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-r-2aeea80645fb. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Routing: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for Routing (r-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.
Routing: What operators should measure
Policy for Routing is versioned as r-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.
Routing: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for r-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.

Routing handoff R-05
Handoff from letter R Routing into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook r-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
- Is transit the default path?
- No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
- Does Routing on letter R share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Routing stay isolated, so incident r-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
