Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the quick reply.
The behavior rfc3261 mentions for using q values is a common ordering mechanism (Section 16.6) . I guess variants as such would not be against rfc3261.
I was suggesting that we could have additional flexibility added to what the LCR module is currently doing. Otherwise i would almost rework what is already there in the LCR module (to get list ordered by qvalues into AVPs)
A use case for the above request is where contacts for an AOR are distributed in a system. The UA's come up with qvalue based on there utilization etc. The idea is to send the call to the contact who has been least used. I cannot enforce that the qvalues generated by the UA's are unique unless I use a sequencing mechanism between the UA's.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
First of all, the behaviour you want to achieve is against RFC3261
(forking based on q value), but for sure you know better what you try to
get ;)
Now, depending where you take the list of destinations from, let's
assume you can get them into AVPs. For how to do serial forking from
AVPs, see:
