Answering my own question as I finally sat down and invested some time in
it.... After a few digging here and there in a number of traces I ran, and I
noticed an anomaly [I just like the word better than bug ] in the SIP VIA
Header coming from SIPX specially at the Request/INVITE section. Long story
short, {full log trace available for the asking...}- In a failed call, SIPX is
sending an empty "received" parameter to Exchange, thus unable to respond back
which then causes a 480 timeout to occurVia: SIP/2.0/TCP
192.168.2.23;branch=z9hG4bK-adbe851de56f0b748ed6a3125fe8c49d;receivedTransport:
TCPSent-by Address: 192.168.2.23Branch:
z9hG4bK-adbe851de56f0b748ed6a3125fe8c49dReceived: received - However, you would
notice below the received field is missing all together on a successful as you
can see hereVia: SIP/2.0/TCP
192.168.2.23;branch=z9hG4bK-580ad10bfa826656777c119dd27aeb71Transport:

z9hG4bK-580ad10bfa826656777c119dd27aeb71Apparently, according to RFC3486 such
VIA Header should either drop the "received" field or when referenced, it
should be well formatter, i.e. received=0.0.0.0 whereas 0.0.0.0 is a valid
IP address. After further digging, this happened to be a known anomaly within
the SIPX world which is then resolved with version 3.8 and above.For reference,
it's found here.
