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:
“Anyone who is kind to man knows the fragmentariness of most men, and wants to arrange a society of power in which men fall naturally into a collective wholeness, since they cannot have an individual wholeness. In this collective wholeness they will be fulfilled. But if they make efforts at individual fulfilment, they must fail for they are by nature fragmentary.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
