RE: [asterisk-users] Practical limit on dial prefixes for a route
I'm aware of Cingular being GSM. We're standardizing on Sprint since Cingular is less than optimal around here. Even with LNP, knowing the NPA-NXX would nail probably 90%+ of our people. The ones that are on LNP could be added as 10 digit LCR. From a technical standpoint, can * handle over 1000+ prefixes on a route?

Down here (San Diego), Cingular advertises they have the fewest dropped calls. I think they pulled a Clinton and re-defined dropped to mean when the customer dropped the handset -- probably out of surprise from connecting the call :) Thanks in advance, Steve Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Correction, that's Multitech CALLFinder CDMA, not CellFinder. Sorry for the misquote.

Since we're on a natioinal basis, it would make sense to have a large LCR listing of prefixes reachable from the gateway, which would most likely number in the thousands of prefixes. Has anyone encountered an upper practical limit that * has for prefixes reachable via a route. I assume that search time is somewhat of a factor. The * box doing the routing is a dual core machine with 4GB of RAM, so it has lots of horsepower. Wondering what limits users have pushed it to on a large scale. Could it handle something like that or would it implode from a huge routing table (assuming our tech contacts at PCS could supply us with a national listing of NPA-NXX's on the PCS network). Thanks in advance for any info.

RE: [asterisk-users] Practical limit on dial prefixes for a route
Why not use DBGet / DBPut? I use it for Caller ID and I have over 50K entries in the DB, and there is no appreciable load hitting the DB in the dialplan. And my one install (admittedly modest) hits the DB a few thousand times a day, with up to 46 concurrent calls. -Original Message- From: Eric Germann To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Sent: 1/15/2007 6:34 PM Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Practical limit on dial prefixes for a route Correction, that's Multitech CALLFinder CDMA, not CellFinder.
