Yes, but you also need to put that in the context that telcos do that
sort of thing every day for POTS. They have MASSIVE automated static
configuration tools (the telco term being provisioning). SS7 is
sometimes likened to a routing protocol, but it's more like a path
setup protocol.

Again, think history and who is running it. Frame relay uses a
connection-oriented model familiar to lots of telephone technicians
who don't understand routing. You're dealing with a huge legacy base.
