About Route Determination
The node prefixes, port prefixes, and port addresses configured on network nodes are 
used to determine the route for a given SVC. A “best match” hierarchy determines the 
route, starting from the left-most digit of the called party address. 
Keep in mind that you use node prefixes to summarize the common address parts of 
the node. For example, if all addresses on the node contain the digits 15085551, you 
would define this as the node prefix. To allow for address routing, node prefixes 
should be unique to a switch; if not, the switch has to perform subsequent matching to 
find a route to the destination.
The following example shows three nodes configured with a combination of native 
E.164 node prefixes, port prefixes, and port addresses:
