Default-timetable

As with least-cost routing (LCR), time control for the default route is a function that automatically dials the provider with the most economical charges for the given time of day.

When an IP packet attempts to initialize a connection via the default route, the remote station entered in the default route is not dialed automatically. Instead, the time control table is checked first for the remote station to be used.

Use this time control table to select specific providers for given weekdays and times of day. As soon as an IP packet requires the establishment of the default route, a check is made whether the time control table has been enabled. Next, the table is searched for an entry that covers the current weekday and time of day. If such an entry is found, the router will establish a connection to the remote station entered there. If no suitable entry is found in the time control table, the router returns to the IP routing table and uses remote station entered there.
