Hi Amit,
Actually both parallel2serial forking support available in openser: 1) LCR module 2) core (see serialize_branches() + next_branches())
have the q-based ordering (parallel versus serial) built in.
Som if I understand correctly, you to do ordering based on q value, but you want only serial forking - no parallel forking for the branches with the same q, right?

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: http://www.voice-sistem.ro/docs/avpops/ar01s08.html#ex_serial_forking Regards, Bogdan Amit Sharma wrote: > Hi All, > > I am a newbie to this list so please forgive me if the question below > has been discussed before.
