[OpenSER-Users] LCR Routing.... Choosing Best Route

This isn't a question specific to LCR module, but it could be an LCR or Carrierroute module issue.

Let's say you have to carriers...

Carrier     Prefix    Cost
---------------------------
Carrier1    1650        0.3
Carrier2    165        0.2

When LCR or Carrierroute try to match a dialed number against a routing entry, they will try and match as much of the number as possible, which makes sense.

However, when you get routes from multiple carriers, they don't always bill on the same prefix boundaries. In my example above, LCR/Carierroute would match against Carrier1 for anything starting with 1650. HOWEVER, since 165 is also applicable (165 means 1650, 1651 and so on), and in this example cheaper, you should route 165 over Carrier 2.

What do people do in this case?

Doug
