Description

Directions refers to countries, or perhaps to a satellite network. The term merely describes the direction in which the call is routed.

Destinations are more concrete concepts of the course of the call. An example that explains these terms better: Let's say we are dialing number 37068547771. According to this number MOR knows that it is Lithuania, but the Destination is the mobile network Bite. Destinations are determined by the Prefix which is unique for each destination. The Prefix in the example is 370685.
