kam 1.5 dispatcher priority usage

[Robert McGilvray]

What is the function of the priority field in dispatcher module? The docs are pretty light on the subject and it’s not clear to me what it’s meant to do.

 

I’m looking for a way to assign a priority to preferred gateways within the same group.

 

Thanks

That's exactly what it does.  Obviously, it is relevant only to
certain distribution strategies/algorithms.

I misstated that a bit. I'm interested in more of a weighting system
similar to that in SRV records. I'd still like to balance the load
across the lesser gateways just have a higher ratio go to gateway X.

I'm using callid hashing and the priority field seems to be ignored. It
does change the ordering in which the gateways are listed so I guess it
works with first destination but that would only give failover. Is there
a algorithm + priority combination that will do what I want?

Thanks

Bob
