Juha, I spent some time trying to understand and get the carrierroute
functionality working today, and it looks like it doesn't solve my
problem either.<br>
<br>
It appears that the default carrier cannot be changed during a call,
which is no good. If we assumed that the domain was our carrier, then
it might be ok because we can call lc_rewrite_uri to switch domains,
but once we've selected a new carrier, the gateways are selected based
on the 'prob' column in the db. This also isn't what we need. We need
more control than that.<br>
<br>
The LCR module actually works better. It the gatways had a priority, we'd be happy!<br>
<br>
I'm surprised no one has written a better module for this. In the real
world, you have multiple POPs, your carriers also have multiple POP's,
multiple gateways. In the event you get a failure with one carrier, you
probably want to switch to the next cheapest carrier, not another
gateway within the same carrier (as it will probably just fail again).
When selecting a carrier gateway, you need to choose the best POP to
use before you select the trunk. <br>
