Virtual IP: capacity in Miami (MIA) · V-40
xserv-v-93bfb61cb906
Runbook V-40 for Virtual IP in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-v-93bfb61cb906. This page covers capacity for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Virtual IP: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for v-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.
Virtual IP: How this letter ties to the rest
Handoff from letter V Virtual IP into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook v-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
Virtual IP: A note on cost and transit
Rollback for v-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Virtual IP prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
Virtual IP headers V-09
Headers for v-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Virtual IP debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
Virtual IP timeouts V-10
Timeouts on v-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. Virtual IP in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.
Virtual IP regions V-11
Region names on v-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Virtual IP dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.
Virtual IP docs V-12
Public docs for letter V stay aligned with identifier xserv-v-pack. Page v-12 is the Virtual IP slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.
- Is transit the default path?
- No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
- Does Virtual IP on letter V share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Virtual IP stay isolated, so incident v-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
