PNNI specification defines that each PNNI node advertises the addresses that are locally connected to it. Since it is not scalable that each node would advertise all of its local RAs, PNNI defines a way that the node advertises only summaries of addresses. For lowest level node, the ATM address of a switch is the switch default summary, as all directly connected hosts and edge devices that use ILMI for address registration get the switch prefix as the prefix to their address. For lowest level node, the address prefix of the switch is the default summary.

Note: In a well-configured network, the switches' prefixes will be organized according to their peer groups. This way, the default summaries on the default level will match the ATM prefixes of the switches. See Appendix G, “Setting Address Prefixes to Match Hierarchical PNNI” for more details about prefix assignment.
