[Users] Re: [Devel] new group feature

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Klaus,

imagine you have routing point between several termination points 
(gateways, media servers, application servers, etc) and you have large 
blocks of numbers/users (K or 10K order).

you know that certain range of users must be routed to specific 
destinations. You can do:
    1) have a hard coded logic into the script, but it doesn't scale and 
is difficult to provision
    2) use old fashion group, but you will end will huge DB.
    3) use RE based groups to define the range of users -> flexible and 
scalable routing and simple to provision. BINGO :)


regards,
bogdan
