Failover triggers are not uniform across hops: RFC 3263 fails over on 503, transport failure or timeout; Teams defaults to 408/503/504 plus a 10-second timer; Twilio origination uses a 4-second no-response rule with an exclusion list; CUCM OPTIONS ping treats 408/503 as down. End-to-end failover time therefore has to be measured per hop rather than assumed.
