Ultimately, the contents of the CSS clause is the ordered list of partitions available to be considered when a call routing decision must be made. This order is the sequence in which they are configured within the CSS AND the sequence in which they are considered for matches.
If a duplicate route pattern is found within two different partitions contained within a singular calling search space clause, the order in which the partition is listed will be the tiebreaker. Cisco recommends that this situation be avoided as it can create confusion when anticipating where a call would be routed.
How Many Partitions Can Be In A CSS?
The maximum size of the combined calling search space clause is 1024 characters, including a character used to separate each partition. Also, since the clause consists of two different calling search spaces, the maximum length for an individual CSS is 512 characters.

As you can see from the constraint imposed by the CSS clause, the actual number of partitions that can be added to a single CSS is variable. To estimate the maximum number of partitions possible, consider the following formula:
Max Number of Partitions = [ 512 / [ Average Length of the Partitions + 1 ] ]
| Length of Partitions | Maximum Number of Partitions |
|---|---|
| 2 characters | 170 |
| 3 characters | 128 |
| 4 characters | 102 |
| 5 characters | 86 |
| ... | ... |
| 10 characters | 46 |
| 15 characters | 32 |
| 20 characters | 24 |
