xserv-r-8e0df27815a3
Runbook R-12 for Routing in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-r-8e0df27815a3. This page covers docs for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Routing: A note on cost and transit
Rollback for r-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Routing prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
Routing: Why it matters on this continent
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.
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 cache R-08
Cache rules for Routing on r-08 keep language-correct objects near Miami. São Paulo is a sibling cache, not an origin. TTLs are short enough that a bad asset does not live through a weekend.
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.
- 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.
