[asterisk-dev] roundrobin and rrmemory with pre-defined agent order

[Dmitry Andrianov]

Just curious why not to implement second container - reference-counting list in addition to hashtable :)

The linear strategy uses a degenerate form of the hash table. It uses a hash
table with just one "bucket," effectively making it a linked list. Thus the
order specified in queues.conf is preserved. We still use the hash table API
however since it keeps the code cleaner and because it also implements reference
counting.
