Packet Failover Policy

Packet Failover Policy is a networking resilience policy that defines when traffic should move to another path or region for unit of network transmission. It uses health signals, priorities, and cooldown windows so teams can recover from outages predictably while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The network engineering team used Packet Failover Policy when packet loss increased, so the team could recover from outages predictably before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
