The priority of each of these modules can be adjusted to implement fallbacks to other methods.

You can set all routing in a single module or use a combination of modules. If more than one module is used, then the priority that is set in each configuration file determines the order of the modules processing the message. A numerically lower priority means a higher priority of the route. A module can add/modify parameters without handling the message.

The first that answers will continue the call. If any of them fails the call will attempt the next target.

A side effect of the ''rotate'' function is to update the value of the global $idx031 variable. Since we defined only two rotation targets the value will cycle between the values 0 and 1.
+
 
+
Now a call comes in for 0319876. Since the previous call has changed $idx031 to 1 the attempted targets will be:
+
 
+
SIP: sip:0319876@provider2.net
+
SIP: sip:0319876@provider1.net
+
H.323: 10100319876@provider3.net
+
 
+
Finally, if instead of ''rotate'' we use the ''index'' function we will get round-robin routing without fallback between the two SIP providers, only with H.323 fallback route. Suppose we route:
+
 
+
{|width="85%" class="wikitable"
+
| ^031.*$=fork $(index,$idx031,| sip/sip:\0@provider1.net,| sip/sip:\0@provider2.net) | h323/1010\0@provider3.net;maxcall=20000
+
 
|}

The same incoming calls will generate outgoing calls to:
 
  
SIP: sip:0310123@provider1.net

Yate has multiple routing modules. A routing module is a module that handles (sees) the call.route message.

You can set all routing in a single module or use a combination of modules. If more than one module is used, then the priority that is set in each configuration file determines the order of the modules processing the message. A numerically lower priority means a higher priority of the route. A module can add/modify parameters without handling the message.

This is the list of the routing modules and a How To's for each of them:
