<p>not aware of such option in mtree to get the matched prefix. Someone has to write some C code to get it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So far, while testing the LCR module I have had some issues with the rule IDs being integers that auto-increment, so the LCR rules need to be referenced from the rule_target table using this numeric ID. I can see some issues when scaling
this to 900 lcr_rules and 2700 lcr_rule_targets with 3 priorities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to that, I think the OPTIONS mechanism is just used by the lcr module when a gateway is marked as defunct, but the gateways are not actively monitored in the normal status. Is this correct?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been considering CarrierRoute, which has a slightly simpler table structure, but I can’t find any other advantage for my use case. Regarding CGrates, it looks great but it looks like it exceeds my current needs.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For those who have implemented LCR in your kamailios, am I missing something regarding performance, scalability, etc?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are there any newer modules that can implement this, or maybe just a dispatcher-on-steroids setup will do the trick?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman ,serif",serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman ,serif",serif">Look also at drouting module, the latest version should do OPTIONS keep alives using keepalive module, otherwise it is a lcr implementation
as well -- I haven't tested myself the keep alive feature, though.<br>
<br>
As for me, typically I go in this case for a combination of mtree + dispatcher. I have mtree translating from longest prefix to a dispatcher group id, inside dispatcher group you can use priority based routing. This works just fine even when you end up in several
dispatcher groups with same destinations but different order based on priority per group.<br>
<br>
You can even map the prefix in mtree to dispatcher group + dispatching algorithm, latest version supports having many columns loaded in the value and then you can use script operations to split.<br>
<br>
