Destination routing

Intelecommunications,destination routingis a methodology for selecting sequential pathways that messages must pass through to reach a target destination, based on a single destination address.

Inelectronic switching systemsfor circuit-based telephone calls, the destination stations are identified by a station address or more commonly, atelephone number.

Description

The telephone network comprises various classes of switching systems. An end office switch connects directly to the stations. It knows which circuit to activate (ring) when given a destination number. Other switches in thenetworkare for transport only. These are sometimes calledtandem switches.In this case, the goal of destination routing would be to select an outbound span for a particular destination number. The objective is to get a continuous signal path from the starting location of the caller to the ending location of the called party.
