Routing: probes in Santiago (SCL) · R-02

Runbook R-02 for Routing in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-r-747c37222d5c. 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 design R-01

Design for Routing on letter R starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook r-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.
