User Defined Attributes are provided as an extension to allow you to perform routing that is specific to your deployment and cannot be controlled by other attributes; many deployments may not require them.
The User Defined Attribute (UDA) object is a child of the User Defined Attributes object. It allows you to define a name for a specific User Defined Attribute, to help you identify how it is used.
The MetaSwitch Class 4/5 Softswitch does not assign a specific meaning to any particular User Defined Attribute or its value. You can define a maximum of 20 User Defined Attributes, each with a meaning specific to your deployment, and assign numeric values as required.
