Section overview

The Routing Plans section is available if your JeraSoft Billing includes the Routing Module. To access the Routing Plans section, please log in to your system and go to Routing > Routing Plans.

This section allows managing your routing rules for customers, providers, and destinations. Each routing plan should be assigned to a respective customer (originator) for the proper work of the routing process.

You can combine both routing rules (dynamic and static) while creating a routing plan, also assign separate rules to each destination. Here you can find a list of created routing plans.

Please note that after changing balancing value, you will need to restart the Traffic Rules manager or wait till its next run.

Info
Among the rules of the same priority, balancing will not be performed if the value is 100 or more in the Balancing field.
Tip
titleUseful tip

To balance routes equally among, say, three vendors, you can set Balancing to 33/33/33 for them OR 1/1/1 OR 99/99/99, etc.. As long as the values are equal and strictly less than a 100, the system will balance traffic between them accordingly:
