It is a standalone multithreaded server application writting in C++ which will accept authorization and CDR requests and will return rated results based on pre-loaded set of rating tables and custom charge or reverse formulas. AVARating allows provisioning of theoretically unrestricted number of rate plans and rates – the limits being available hardware resources. It has been proven to provide high transaction throughput and low TCO in most challenging environments.
