asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Least Cost Routing - Are you doing it? What are you using?

Greetings.

 

I've been playing with the TrollPhone Rate Engine Addon for a week or so.
I'm curious what is being used out there for LCR applications?  

 

I've run into a stump with the Rate Engine and that is the costing is done
with an integer.  With this, how do you put in say 0.014 / minute rate.  And
if your periods are not 60 seconds.. well.. then you have even more places
to keep track of.  Perhaps I'm missing the point here.  If so.. someone
please straighten me out.  *smiles*

 

Thanks

 

Grady

Throw that troll phone crap away and write a better one in PHP using AGI. We
did and it works great. We store all NPANXXs into a database with the rates
from multiple carriers. When a call comes in, the PHP script first
determines which state the call came from, and what state the call is going
to. If the two states match then it uses rate table A for intrastate calls
and chooses the cheapest carrier to terminat that NPANXX. If the 2 states
don't match it uses a different table.

PHP/AGI is wonderful.
