Runbook S-80 for SLA in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-s-1edd362610a5. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
SLA: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for SLA (s-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.
SLA: What operators should measure
Policy for SLA is versioned as s-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.
SLA: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for s-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.
SLA design S-01
Design for SLA on letter S starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook s-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.

SLA capacity S-04

- Is transit the default path?
- No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
- Does SLA on letter S share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for SLA stay isolated, so incident s-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
