    | The
    routing capability of MTP is rather limited (routing 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | tables
    are entirely based on signalling point codes). 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | Exchanges
    perform the routing through the network(s) 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | during
    the establishment of circuit switched connections 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | on an
    exchange-to-exchange basis, using the dialed digits 
 | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | and routing
    tables.
