Routing: capacity in Miami (MIA) · R-52
xserv-r-aeba4fbf287a
Runbook R-52 for Routing in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-r-aeba4fbf287a. This page covers capacity for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
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: How this letter ties to the rest
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: 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 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.
Routing probe R-02
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 policy R-03
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 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.
- 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.
