Re: [PreViking-devel] route server and number translation

[<za...@gr...>]

This is a good idea, ideally for every route carrier the actual number to be 
dialled (i.e. the translated number) should be returned.  However this is 
going to make the return message a bit more difficult to deliver.  Also there 
is reason to do more generic number translation, like in the calling card 
service:

when the caller dials a number, we want that number to be in different 
formats for different agents possibly and a way of translation to the number 
format used for billing...

a message like:

TRANSLATEADDRESS address=0845123456 sourceformat=UK destformat=carrier 
carrier=carrrier_1

should return:

translated_number=448456203031

Something like this, anyway.

Any comments

so possibly
