WAN: peering in Bogotá (BOG) · W-07

xserv-w-fe549fe698d7

Runbook W-07 for WAN in Bogotá (BOG). Marker xserv-w-fe549fe698d7. This page covers peering for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

WAN: Why it matters on this continent

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: 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 capacity W-04

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 handoff W-05

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 rollback W-06

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.

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.
Is transit the default path?
No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
