[cisco-voip] AAR question...

[Jonathan Charles]

An update on this, according to the SRND for CCM4.2, page 9-14:

"AAR is invoked only when the locations-based call admission control denies
the call due to a lack of network bandwidth. AAR is not invoked when the IP
WAN is unavailable or other connectivity issues cause the called device to
become unregistered with Cisco Unified CallManager. In such cases, the calls
are redirected to the target specified in the Call Forward No Answer field
of the called device."
