I am on team DPG but it definitely feels like I am rooting for the option
of less suckage, rather than the best option. There is a ton of cruft in
here!

Anyway I would love to participate in this thread, but we have had some
provider churn over the past 2-3 years, and our config is primarily
spaghetti held together by duct tape and dreams. Maybe I will catch
everyone on the next thread. I know I'm going to be referencing this when
we revamp our configs.

stand DPG.   Its crazy that it completely ignores destination pattern.   If you have \
two destinations in the group, it just round-robins them.   I got burned not \
understanding that DPG didn't look at destination pattern and I swore I would never \
use them again.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u>  <u></u></p><p \
class="MsoNormal">I use cor-list to restrict the SP inbound dial-peer to the cucm \
outbound dial-peer, and vice versa.   Matching the inbound dial-peer by URI works \
great, I started with matching "FROM" but that fell apart in some cases, so I use VIA \
by default now, and that has been solid.<u></u><u></u></p><p \
class="MsoNormal"><u></u>  <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">My numbering is usually 1X \
for CUCM, with the 0 for inbound in each range, then 2X for the first SIP provider \
and 3X for the 2<sup>nd</sup>, maybe 5X for CVP etc.<u></u><u></u></p><p \
class="MsoNormal"><u></u>  <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I always localize on the \
CUBE, sending a full +E.164 from CUCM and then use translation profiles to format to \
how the specific country/carrier wants to see the calls.   The exception is US \
11D/10D determination is done by the CUCM because I find it easier to load all of the \
local NPA-NXX into CUCM route filters via AXL, but then sometimes I am doing TEHO and \
have to control which outbound dial-peer it chooses.<u></u><u></u></p><p \
class="MsoNormal"><u></u>  <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I also never let the CUBE \
choose the carrier, I think mostly because a long time ago I had the same carrier \
spread over multiple gateways along with multiple carriers in each gateway, and I \
wanted CUCM to re-route to the other gateway same carrier before CUBE used a less \
preferred route because it was local.   So when there is multiple carriers I usually \
will prefix 1#* or 2#* on up for each carrier.<u></u><u></u></p><p \

So the config gets a bit longer in UCCE environments due to this.  \

Otherwise, it was routing the call just fine.   Granted, I couldn&#39;t tell you what \
