This OCTET STRING holds the Q value of a server group element, a real number from 0.0 to 1.0 that ranks the element's priority relative to its peers in the group. A Cisco Unified SIP Proxy uses this priority when deciding which backend SIP server in the group should receive calls first, so a low Q value signals a lower-priority fallback server. For example, if a primary SIP registrar is assigned Q=1.0 and a disaster-recovery registrar Q=0.3, the proxy will route calls preferentially to the primary and only fall back to the recovery server when needed.
