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.
Configuring inbound route
Log in to your Flowroute account
Select the Interconnection option from the left sidebar menu
Go to the Inbound Routes tab
Populate Add new Route form:
Set the Route Alias which is just a name for the route that’s easy to remember or identify.
Select your route type. Note that Edge strategy only applies to route types Host and URI.
Enter your route value following the example format.
Update Edge strategy with your preferred value.
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) on the DID Manage page.
Examples
Host routes
sip:yourdomain.com
123.1.1.321:5060
yourdomain.com;transport=tls
123.1.1.321:5060;weight=300
URI routes
sip:bob@8.4.3.13:7193;transport=tcp
sip:dave@atlanta.com;transport=tls
sip: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%
