Routing modules in Yate
- Regular expressions module
- Javascript routing module
- Database routing, can also register users
- ENUM based routing
- Call forker (not quite routing but very similar)
- Clustering support, extends routing to multiple nodes in a cluster
The priority of each of these modules can be adjusted to implement fallbacks to other methods.
Round-robin routing
Combining the callfork module with the rotate function from regexroute it is possible to implement round-robin routing, with or without fallback.
Let's suppose we route all numbers starting with 031 through two main SIP providers and we have one H.323 provider as fallback.
We set in regexroute.conf an entry like this:
| sip/sip:\0@provider1.net,| sip/sip:\0@provider2.net) | h323/1010\0@provider3.net;maxcall=20000 |
We defined a list of two SIP call targets inside a rotate function. We also use a global (persistent between calls) variable conveniently named $idx031 so we remember it only rotates calls to the 031 prefix. Any other global variable name could be used.
The H.323 fallback route is placed outside the rotate function so it's always called last. The maxcall parameter of the message applies to all outgoing calls. There is currently no way of setting separate parameters for each individual call.
The first call comes in - let's suppose for 0310123. The initial value of variable $idx031 is undefined so zero will be assumed. The following targets will be tried in sequence, each for 20 seconds (set by the maxcall parameter):
SIP: sip:0310123@provider1.net SIP: sip:0310123@provider2.net H.323: 10100310123@provider3.net
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:
| 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 H.323: 10100310123@provider3.net
and respectively:
SIP: sip:0319876@provider2.net H.323: 10100319876@provider3.net
