Routing: probes in Santiago (SCL) · R-26
xserv-r-3454c147f1d3
Runbook R-26 for Routing in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-r-3454c147f1d3. This page covers probes 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 headers R-09
Headers for r-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Routing debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
Routing timeouts R-10
Timeouts on r-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. Routing in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.
Routing regions R-11
Region names on r-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Routing dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.
Routing docs R-12
Public docs for letter R stay aligned with identifier xserv-r-pack. Page r-12 is the Routing slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.
- Where is Routing measured first?
- From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter R.
- How fast is rollback for r-03?
- The runbook is a command plus a named owner. There is no wait for a weekly change freeze.
