xserv-w-090921fae7d3
Runbook W-46 for WAN in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-w-090921fae7d3. This page covers timeouts 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 peering W-07
Peering for WAN (w-07) prefers the IX fabric that already carries last-mile ISPs in Bogotá. Session counts and prefix limits are on the same page as the Miami backup path.
WAN cache W-08
Cache rules for WAN on w-08 keep language-correct objects near Miami. São Paulo is a sibling cache, not an origin. TTLs are short enough that a bad asset does not live through a weekend.
WAN headers W-09
Headers for w-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. WAN debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
