When developing an electronic messaging application that includes fax capabilities, one of the common items to consider is the means by which a received fax will reach its intended recipient. There is a surprisingly wide range of options available, each having both advantages and disadvantages. The inbound routing technique(s) that are ultimately implemented will be chosen based on a number of factors, including the expected amount of inbound fax traffic, the availability/ appropriateness of a given technique for the fax application, the end user’s cost of implementation, and whether the sender of the fax needs to have any knowledge of the specific technique being used. This paper provides a summary of commonly used inbound routing techniques along with a discussion of their relative merits.
