Re: [OpenSER-Users] LCR Routing.... Choosing Best Route

However, when you get routes from multiple carriers, they don't always bill on the same prefix boundaries. In my example above, LCR/ Carierroute would match against Carrier1 for anything starting with 1650. HOWEVER, since 165 is also applicable (165 means 1650, 1651 and so on), and in this example cheaper, you should route 165 over Carrier 2.

What do people do in this case?

It's called LCR for a reason, so I think minimizing cost should be priority 1. Once price has stopped being the differentiator other factors could be taken into account. Maybe price and other costs have to aggregated?
