called direct call routing.
Advanced call routing: More complex call forwarding decisions can be configured in the call router.
The call router is a very efficient and flexible tool for routing calls between CS interfaces. Based on a set of
routing criteria, the call router determines the destination (interface) for every incoming call. The forwarding
decisions and features are based on a set of routing tables, mapping-tables and call services.
Each routing table is responsible for a specific routing criterion such as the called party number or the bearer
