What does ASP.NET MVC internally use?

Question

What does aspnet mvc internally use (for routing)?

Application, Session, Viewstate, Cookies, Cross Page Data, Context.Items, Profiles???????

I mean how can it maintain states w/o using any of the above techniques?

which states are you talking about, are you talking of route info?? — Praveen Prasad

ASP.NET MVC routing uses none of the above. It maintains no state. Internally it uses a static dictionary to store the route definition but that's an implementation detail that you should not depend on for any reason as it might change in future versions.

This actually helped me a bunch, but my question was very different. I'm trying to learn MVC, but I'm a much more traditional programmer only recently exposed to web stuff. In doing a tutorial, the PageData looked a bit like ViewState or cookies and your answer cleared up how it's different. Thanks!
