WAN: timeouts in Santiago (SCL) · W-58

xserv-w-b69922235f58

Runbook W-58 for WAN in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-w-b69922235f58. 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 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.

WAN timeouts W-10

Timeouts on w-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. WAN in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.

WAN regions W-11

Region names on w-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. WAN dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.

Where is WAN measured first?
From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter W.
How fast is rollback for w-03?
The runbook is a command plus a named owner. There is no wait for a weekly change freeze.
