xserv-v-d828edc68038
Runbook V-47 for Virtual IP in Bogotá (BOG). Marker xserv-v-d828edc68038. This page covers regions for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
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: Why it matters on this continent
Design for Virtual IP on letter V starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook v-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.
Virtual IP design V-01

Virtual IP probe V-02
Probes for Virtual IP (v-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.
Virtual IP policy V-03
Policy for Virtual IP is versioned as v-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.
Virtual IP capacity V-04
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.
- How fast is rollback for v-03?
- The runbook is a command plus a named owner. There is no wait for a weekly change freeze.
- Is transit the default path?
- No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
