[OpenSIPS-Users] priority differences between carrierroute and drouting

[Gabriel Bermudez]

Seems that a weighted load balancing is not directly posible with
drouting (http://lists.opensips.org/pipermail/users/2009-September/008106.html),
but you can trick the system to behave like this. It would be great if
the module could also support this feature natively, maybe by handling
a special format on the gwlist colum (GW1=0.4,GW2=0.2,GW3=0.4)

I was interested on use drouting, because it can be managed with
opensips control panel.  Is the carrierroute module on plans?

I understand that on carrierroute the gateway selected depends on the prefix dialed and the value of the prob field.  For example for prefix 49, gateway x.x.x.x with prob=0.2 and gateway y.y.y.y with prob=0.8 can exists in the carrierroute table.
