[asterisk-users] How does wrandom strategy works with Queue?

[Asterisk Man]

Hi,

wrandom strategy for Queue says...rings random interface, but uses the
member's penalty as a weight  when calculating their metric. So a member
with penalty 0 will have a metric somewhere between 0 and 1000, and a member
with penalty 1 will have a metric between 0 and 2000, and a member with
penalty 2 will have a metric between 0 and 3000. Please note, if using this
strategy, the member penalty is not the same as when using other queue
strategies. It is ONLY used as a weight for calculating metric.

Does it mean if a member with lower penalty is available, Queue will always
send the call to that member?
what if that member ignores the call(I am using X-lite as a member phone)?
Should Queue ringback the same member or ring somebody else who has higher
penalty and available?

I tried this on Asterisk 1.8.0 and found different behaviors each time.
First case it tried ringing the same lower penalty member no matter call was
ignored or not. In another case it rang second member when lower penalty
member ignored the call.

Moreover,How does that matric get calculated and affect the behavior of
ringing the member?

Thanking you in advance...
