Usually CDR scrubbing/reporting is the best way to identify carriers that don't deliver the desired ASR/NER, either entirely or for specific destinations. It can be a lot of work to build automated pattern analysis but it's well worth it when pursuing quality/reliability, even for non-International traffic (like tracking whether your carriers have implemented the latest LERG updates based on 0% ASRs on individual NPANXXs).

Maybe that's a more relevant question... do you test automatically somehow? - Darren Carlos Alvarez <carlos at televolve.com> wrote: Darren Schreiber wrote:
I am working on some international routing with a client and we are having a hell of a time finding **reputable** international providers who aren't uber-expensive. I am about ready to setup our own routing system and hand-pick providers.
We have very low international volume also, and we are using Level 3 with mixed success. Most of the time it's decent, but we occasionally run into an issue with the smaller countries (today's problem country is Palau). Hopefully others on the list have some ideas for small users like us to find great international termination. Our initial idea is to add a couple more options and then just cycle through them if they fail, though as you state, sometimes the failure isn't apparent. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
