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:
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
