Proportional Distribution

Proportional Distribution

The ProportionalDistribution operation performs distribution of call processing down one or more exit paths according to a configured ratio/proportion for each exit path.

The ProportionalDistribution operation must have at least one exit. The ProportionalDistribution operation is only useful when it has more than one exit, although this is not enforced by the operation definition.

Config Parameters

The ProportionalDistribution operation config attributes are as follows.

Config Rules

A ProportionalDistribution operation rules Object is as follows.

Note that the sum of proportion values does not need to add up to 100.

Example Operation

Here is an example ProportionalDistribution operation in JSON representation.

    {
        "id": 5,
        "type": "ProportionalDistribution",
        "base_node": 1,
        "config": {
            "rules": [
                { "proportion": 50, "exit_idx": 0 },
                { "proportion": 50, "exit_idx": 1 }
            ]
        },
        "exits": [ 4, 17 ]
    }

In this example, 50% of calls will proceed down exit index 0 to operation ID 4, while the other 50% of calls will proceed down exit index 1 to operation ID 17.

Exits

In general, the user interface should ensure that the entries in exits match 1:1 with the configured rules, although this is not enforced by the operation definition.
