Routing User Guide Defining Routing Rules
Routing Rule Tips
The following tips may be useful while creating or editing routing rules:
ƒ When defining multiple conditions for a rule, list the most restrictive condition first.
This will reduce the amount of time needed to process the rule.
ƒ The number symbol # can be used for comments, or to disable a rule. When disabling
a rule, precede each line in the rule with #.
ƒ Spaces and line breaks can be used as needed for legibility.
ƒ
Route.dic must end with a line-feed. To ensure proper termination of the last
meaningful line, add a comment-line after the last routing rule, such as:
# last update on 1 April 2003
# end of file
When rules are imported as described on page 44 , the routing software will check the
syntax used and will report on any problems detected.
