Routing: probes in Santiago (SCL) · R-62

xserv-r-996efc0fc9b9

Runbook R-62 for Routing in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-r-996efc0fc9b9. 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 capacity R-04

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.

Routing rollback R-06

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.

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.
