Hi all,

Thanks you for your help. I think I can implement a multi-forwarding service now but I think I should spend sometime trying to add some ordering mechanism to avpops module because basing on order from database is not enough for such kind of service.

Hi Minh,

After loading the AVPs via apv_db_load() function you will have in memory the AVP list exactly in the revert order than in database. Ex:

if

...

you had for avp "test" values A, B, C and D, after loading you will

have

...

the order D, C, B and A.

Can anyone think of a way to set the order in the database? I think

that it

is probably impractical, if not impossible.

If you want to have ordering for AVP of same name/ID at load_db time you

need to relay on some information/order already existing in the DB. At the moment, the only available criteria is the DB order itself.

Is this reverse order by design or by implementation? My ser logic

heavily

relies on the behavior. I wonder if any future upgrade might break it

if it

is just how the code is implemented.

The revert order is a effect of how the AVP core is implemented - the AVPs are kept in singled-linked list and any new APV is added at the beginning of the list.
