Hi all
In OpenSIPS 1.8.0, the Dynamic Module comes with some major changes and
enhancements :
Carrier concept added
----------------------
Now you can group the GWs in carrier, so you can achieve a better
control over the destinations. A carrier is a list of gws - for each
carrier, you can define how the gws should be sort - based on the
definition order, or based on weigths . Once again, this setting is per
carrier. Also you can enabled / disable carriers (via MI) during
runtime. The carrier has attached an attribute string that will be
pushed to script when a gws from the carrier will be used.
When defining a routing rule, you can define a list of gws and carriers
to be used (a mixed list). How the list from the rule is interpreted
(order or weight), depends on a flag in do_routing() function.
Ex:
gateways : g1, g2, g3, g4, g5
carriers : c1 = g1=75,g2=25 (a premium carrier), ordering based
on weight
c2 = g3,g4 (a standard carrier), ordering based on
given order
rules: prefix= 004021 ; list = #c1,#c2,g5 - first we will try do
distribute 75/25 the traffic
between the gws from carrier c1 and if all fail, we
will try gws from carrier c2
(according the ordering defined for c2), and so on
prefix= 004072 ; list = #c2=50,g5=50 - all traffic will
be weight balanced between carrier
c2 and gw g5; of course, if carrier c2 is to be used,
the corresponding traffic will
routed over the c2 gateways according to its definition
do_routing() enhancements
--------------------------
The do_routing() function takes several flags (as second optional
parameter) to control the matching and ordering in the rules:
* /W/ - Instead of using the destination (from the rule definition)
in the given order, sort them based on their weight.
* /F/ - Enable rule fallback; normally the engine is using a single
rule for routing a call; by setting this flag, the engine will
fallback and use rules with less priority or shorter prefix when
all the destination from the current rules failed.
* /L/ - Do strict length matching over the prefix - actually DR
engine will do full number matching and not prefix matching anymore.
Also, the function takes a new third optional parameter - a white list
of gateways -> during the routing, only the gateways from this list will
be considered valid (from the gws specified by the routing rules)
Rule fallback
--------------
Before, the dr module was matching and using a single rule. Now, via the
F flag, you can instruct the DR engine to fallback and use additional
rules that match (with looser matching) the dialed prefix - like rules
with same prefix but lower priority, rules with shorter prefix.
The fallback is transparent done, via the use_next_gw() function.
Ex:
prefix 004072, prio 10 => g1,g2
prefix 004072, prio 1 => g3
prefix 0040, prio 1 => g4,g5
when dialing 00407221234567 and using fallback, the gws g1, g2
(first rule), g3 (second rule) and g4 , g5 (third rule) will be used.
New routing functions
----------------------
route_to_gw(gw_id) - function to trigger the direct routing to a given
gateway. Attributes and per-gw preocessing will be available.
route_to_carrier(carrier_id) -f unction to trigger the direct routing to
a given carrier. In this case the routing is not done prefix based, but
carrier based (call will be sent to the GWs of that carrier, based on
carrier policy)
