WAN: capacity in Miami (MIA) · W-64
xserv-w-067c7652085c
Runbook W-64 for WAN in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-w-067c7652085c. This page covers capacity for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
WAN: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for w-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.
WAN: How this letter ties to the rest
Handoff from letter W WAN into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook w-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
WAN: A note on cost and transit
Rollback for w-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while WAN prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
WAN docs W-12
Public docs for letter W stay aligned with identifier xserv-w-pack. Page w-12 is the WAN slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.
WAN design W-01
Design for WAN on letter W starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook w-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.
WAN probe W-02
Probes for WAN (w-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.
WAN policy W-03
Policy for WAN is versioned as w-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.
- Is transit the default path?
- No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
- Does WAN on letter W share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for WAN stay isolated, so incident w-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
