2.36 MTP Origin-Based Routing (MOBR) Support

MTP Origin based routing aims to provide customers with greater flexibility and control over the vSTP routing mechanisms by enabling network operators to selectively route traffic to the same destination through different networks, depending on various classes. Those classes of exception routes are shown below:

Figure 2-54 Classes of exception

Craftspeople should consider exception routesets as routesets within the vSTP, where the DPC coupled with the exception class and criteria create a new destination. All other properties of a routeset apply to exception routesets with respect to provisioning (routes and route costs) and alarming with the exception on network management.

Users have the option to configure vSTP to use more criteria when making Message Transfer Part (MTP) routing decisions. MTP Origin-Based Routing gives a carrier more control over how traffic gets to its destination.
