Route Path Notation
The route path describes the route from the source Controller to the destination Controller using the
network type number and destination address as follows.
Network type number\#Destination address\Network type number\#Destination address
Do not add # to the network type number
, and add # to the beginning of the destination address.
The meaning of network type number and destination address is described below.
