#654 do_routing: 'W' flag ignored

[Ovidiu Sas]

The 'W' weight flag is ignored while calling do_routing.
If in the dr_rules, under gwlist we provision actual gateways with weight, the weight flag is taken into consideration while routing.
If in the dr_rules, under gwlist we use a carrier (marked with '#') and if the carrier has multiple gateways configured with weigh (gwlist field on dr_cariers table), the weight flag is ignored for those gateways.

Hi Ovidiu,

The W flag affects only the ordering inside a rule ( entities in gwlist ).

The ordering inside a carrier is not affected by that flag (by design) - for inside the carrier, each carrier has a flag (see the dr_carrier table) to enable the weight based selection.

So, the weight based orering is controled:

• from script , via W flag for the rules
• from the carrier definition, for the carriers.

Bogdan
