Re: Virtual Queues

For those listening in:
ACD stands for "Automatic Call Distribution". It's a standard
abreviation from the world of "plain old telephony". ;-)

That's correct: You publish a different address to call.

Example:
You want to setup a hotline and the calls will be handled by "frank",
"alice" or "jeff" whoever is available or may be all of them at times of
high demand.

You tell you customers: Call "hotline" when you have a problem.
You set up VirtualQueue=hotline in the gatekeeper config.
In the ACD config you set up who will handle wich call (frank, alice and
jeff).
When your customers call "hotline" the ACD will check who is available
and route the call to that alias.

See above: The endpoints handling the calls stay the same, none becomes
a virtual queue.

Some people call a virtual queue a "service entry point": It's just a
and entry point people will call to get a certain service. The ACD will
find the endpoint providing the service.
If that confuses more than it helps, stick to the example above.
