Collective routing is routing in which a switching center automatically delivers messages to a specified list of destinations.
Collective routing avoids the need to list each single address in the message heading.
Major relay stations usually transmit messages bearing collective-routing indicators to tributary, minor, and other major relay stations.
Famous quotes containing the word collective:
“Speed is good only when wisdom leads the way. The end of this journey, whether to the high horizons of hope or the depths of destruction, will be determined by the collective wisdom of the people who live on this shrinking planet.”
—James Poe (1921–1980)
