[cisco-voip] SRST and standby SUB?

[Justin Steinberg]

nevermind, what i wrote doesn't make any sense.

I assume it must work something more like, the phones follow the SCCP
keepalive timers defined in the ccmadmin service parameters but when the KA
ACKs begin to fail the phone must use some 'geometric TCP' logic to force a
quicker failover.
