+An Osmocom SS7 Route holds information to route traffic with a matching
+destination point code and point code mask (similar to IP Address + Netmask)
+towards a specified SS7 Linkset or Application Server. The Linkset or
Application Servers are identified by their name.
+Routes are inserted in a routing table, where they are ordered first based
+on prefix mask length (longest prefix first) and then on priority (lowest value first).
+As a result, more specific routes (eg. a single Point Code) will match and
+be used before more generic ones (eg. a subnet).
