# Configure an Inbound Route With Your Preferred PoP

At Flowroute, you have the ability to manage inbound voice routing on a per-route basis. For example, if you select **US-West-OR** as your **Edge Strategy** for a given **Inbound Route**, origination calls will be attempted first from US-West-OR servers. If those fail, then origination attempts will be made from the other [points of presence](/flowroute-support/docs/configure-an-inbound-route-with-your-preferred-pop#pop-options).

**Configuring inbound route**

1. Log in to your [**Flowroute account**](https://manage.flowroute.com/)
2. Select the [Interconnection](https://manage.flowroute.com/accounts/interconnection/) option from the left sidebar menu
3. Go to the [Inbound Routes](https://manage.flowroute.com/accounts/interconnection/routes/) tab
4. Populate **Add new Route** form:
  1. Set the **Route Alias** which is just a name for the route that’s easy to remember or identify.
  2. Select your route type. Note that **Edge strategy** only applies to route types **Host** and **URI**.
  3. Enter your route value following the [example format](/flowroute-support/docs/configure-an-inbound-route-with-your-preferred-pop#examples).
  4. Update **Edge strategy** with your preferred value.
5. Click on **Add Route** to apply the changes. Your route should appear in the list below.

#### Apply Inbound route to DID(s)

Next, you can [**apply inbound route to your DID(s)**](/flowroute-support/docs/host-based-routing-for-inbound-calls-to-your-dids) on the [DID Manage page](https://manage.flowroute.com/accounts/dids/).

#### Examples

- **Host routes**
  - sip:[yourdomain.com](http://yourdomain.com)
  - 123.1.1.321:5060
  - [yourdomain.com](http://yourdomain.com);transport=tls
  - 123.1.1.321:5060;weight=300
- **URI routes**
  - sip:[alice@atlanta.com](mailto:alice@atlanta.com)
  - sip:bob@8.4.3.13:7193;transport=tcp
  - sip:[dave@atlanta.com](mailto:dave@atlanta.com);transport=tls
  - sip:[otherbob@atlanta.com](mailto:otherbob@atlanta.com);transport=tcp;weight=100

#### Weighted Routing

Percentage-based traffic distribution is supported when both a **primary** and **failover** route include the weight parameter.

**NOTE:** When only one of the two routes or neither of them contain a weight, traditional primary/failover behavior occurs.

To add a weight, simply append the weight parameter to the route with a value between 0 and 1000. When both values are present, the percentage of traffic sent to one route will be the weight over the sum of both weights.

` my_route1;weight=200 -> 200 / (200+300) -> 40%`

` my_route2;weight=300 -> 300 / (200+300) -> 60%`

#### PoP options

**IMPORTANT:** Please refer to [**Manage portal**](https://manage.flowroute.com/accounts/interconnection/routes/) for the up-to-date selection of PoPs
