NSAP addresses, which essentially are telephone numbers, assume geographically aggregated addresses at country level (so called, country code), which is why they don't need large global routing tables.
The phone network doesn't really operate or 'route' in the same way as the Internet does.
The context here is TUBA where NSAP addresses are used for best effort CLNP, which is not circuit switched and resource reserving phone network.
I don't think using it in a comparison here works, at all... I really wish folk would stop trying to make this equivalency.
That you don't properly understand the similarities and the differences between telephone network and the Internet is not a problem for rest of us. Masataka Ohta
