Is transit the default path?

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

Does Sync on letter Y share fate with other letters?

The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Sync stay isolated, so incident y-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.

Sync: docs in Miami (MIA) · Y-60

Runbook Y-60 for Sync in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-y-d482b2d1df1c. This page covers docs for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

Sync: A note on cost and transit

Rollback for y-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Sync prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.

Sync: Why it matters on this continent

Design for Sync on letter Y starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook y-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.

Sync: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for Sync (y-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.

Sync capacity Y-04

Capacity notes for y-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.

Sync handoff Y-05

Handoff from letter Y Sync into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook y-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.

Sync rollback Y-06

Sync peering Y-07

Peering for Sync (y-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.
