Adjunct Routing

Issue  4 September 1995
NOTE:
The operation described in the previous paragraph is similar to that for the 
route-to with coverage
 command.
Multiple Outstanding Route Requests
This feature allows multiple ASAI  Route Requests for the same call to be active 
at the same time (simultaneously). The Route Requests can be over the same or 
different ASAI links.
The requests are all made from the same vector. They must be specified back-
to-back, without intermediate (
wait-time, announcement, goto,
 or 
stop
) steps. If 
the adjunct routing commands are not specified back-to-back, current adjunct 
routing functionality will apply (that is, previous outstanding route requests will be 
cancelled when an adjunct routing vector step is executed).
The first Route Select response received by the switch will be used as the route 
for the call, and all other outstanding Route Requests   for the  call will be 
cancelled. 
This capability increases the redundancy options available with ASAI. Prior to 
G3V3, adjunct routing applications that wanted to have a backup link tested if the 
primary link was down and then executed the adjunct routing for the backup link 
with a vector as shown in Figure 9-4. Note that the route request over link 1001 is 
cancelled when step 4 is executed (because of the intermediate step 3).
Figure 9-4.
Sample Adjunct Routing Vector with Redundancy
With Multiple Outstanding Route Requests, multiple adjuncts can process the 
route call request without waiting for the first route attempt to fail. An application 
can make use of this feature to distribute the incoming call load evenly across 
adjuncts, based on the adjunct’s current CPU load.
