# prefix_route Module

## Admin Guide

### Overview

The prefix_route module does routing based on a set of prefixes from the database. The prefix rule-set is loaded from the database into a binary tree in memory, either on startup or when issuing the "prefix_route.reload" RPC command. When calling the "prefix_route()" function from the ser.cfg configuration script, it will try to match the user part of the request URI with the best matching route. If a route is found, it will be used for further processing. If not found normal processing will continue.
