01
Cap fallback
Move traffic after daily or total limits fill.
01 / Operational context
Fallback is part of the primary architecture
It should not be added after an outage. Every route group needs a defined alternative for caps, pauses, GEO gaps and technical failures.
02 / Operational context
Fallback order should remain eligible
The second-best historical performer is not useful if it does not accept the user country or traffic type.
03 / Operational context
Zero-route events must be visible
If no destination is eligible, the system should log the condition so coverage can be improved rather than hiding the loss.
System components
What the operating model includes.
02
Pause fallback
Replace a temporarily disabled destination.
03
GEO fallback
Choose another route supporting the country.
04
Device fallback
Avoid incompatible device flows.
05
Error fallback
Handle unavailable or failing URLs.
06
Default route
Use a broad eligible destination as the last option.
Launch checklist
What to validate before volume increases.
Define at least one alternative per route group
Test cap exhaustion
Monitor redirect errors
Track zero-route rate
Review broad defaults for quality
Do not route restricted traffic into a fallback
Operational principle
SmartLink routing does not replace transparent traffic acquisition, stable tracking or partner communication. It makes those inputs more useful by connecting them to eligible dating inventory.
