The phone network doesn't really operate or 'route' in the same way as the
Internet does.
The context here is TUBA where NSAP addresses are used for best

to make this equivalency.
That you don't properly understand the similarities and the
differences between telephone network and the Internet is
not a problem for rest of us.
