IMO the UAC has no right to know any such thing.  It has no rights - it's not a human.  The calling human has a right to know the far-end called human it got delivered to.  But they don't care nor have a right to know the *host* element it got delivered to, or host elements it forked to but did not succeed at, etc.  It's none of their business, frankly.

And if we're thinking the far-end terminating Enterprise or provider will want to tell some originating Enterprise or provider what's going on inside their network, well... once again we all live in different worlds. :)
