Routing: cache in Miami (MIA) · R-56

Runbook R-56 for Routing in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-r-8e93bba0f789. 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 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.
