[Freeswitch-users] Mod LCR SQL sub-query for better routing

[DP .]

I agree. This definitely sounds like he simply needed the "reorder_by_rate" param. It will reorder the initial sql results strictly by rate: 
reorder_by_rate - Forces the LCR module to re-order the query strictly on rate basis. By default this is turned off, but enabling this will always prefer rate over anything else.
Beware this may have an adverse effect! I initially had this turned on then quickly realized it would sometimes try to route ALL calls by the lowest rate found. 
Ex: flowroute lists all calls for the US with a default NPA of "1" at .0098. Now a user trying to call Jamaica with "1876" at a rate of 0.19 (or whatever) will get both flowroute rates returned. The reorder by rate will assume 0.0098 is a valid rate since it will now be the "cheapest" in the list and send the call along its way to flowroute, whom will now bill you at 0.19. Now if you have another carrier in your list with 1876 at 0.15 you can see why this would be a problem.
In this case you will always want the longest matched NPANXX rate.

      Hello,

For those interested, I added a piece to mod lcr wiki. It makes sorting 
/ routing logic better than default logic:

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_lcr#Custom_SQL_with_sub-query_-_for_real-life_ratesheet_complexities

Why it helps:

Rates rates can often be given both on per-NPA or per-NPANXX level 
depending on the carrier and on the NPA. Moreover, some carriers may 
have NPANXX rate lower than the corresponding NPA rate, while others 
will have it inverse. Neither simple ORDER BY rate, prefix; nor ORDER BY 
prefix, rate; give the truly cheapest route. The LCR logic should be 
two-step process to accommodate this.

Cheers,

    Unless I misunderstand what you're saying, this is what the
    reorder_by_rate param does.

    

    You'll always want to pick the longest digit match per carrier. 
    Then you probably want to grab the cheapest overall rate of the
    matches you got back.
