WAN: probes in Santiago (SCL) · W-50
xserv-w-d0e7cae3b42e
Runbook W-50 for WAN in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-w-d0e7cae3b42e. This page covers probes for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
WAN: How XServ runs it day to day
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: What operators should measure
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.
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 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.
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.
- 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.
