IP and Telecoms Interworking Workshop Numbering, Naming Addressing and Routing IETF EMUM WG Proposal International Telecommunication Union Telecommuniations Standardization Bureau Geneva January 2000 Document IPW-4 1

Presented By l Representing IETF l Richard Shockey 8045 Big Bend Boulevard, Suite 110 Saint Louis, Missouri 63119 USA (314) 918. 9020 Voice (314) 918. 9015 Fax l E. Mail/IFAX rshockey@ix. netcom. com 2

Problem Statement l How do you link the resources of the GSTN with the resources of the Internet? l How do you find a resource on the Internet if you only have a telephone number [E. 164]? l How do you make this simple, easy to use without “reinventing the wheel”? 3

Solution Proposal – ENUM WG l Put Telephone Numbers into the Global Domain Name System [DNS] l Use proposed NAPTR and SRV Resource Records [RR] to find : • • IP Address E-Mail addresses SIP / H. 323 servers LDAP directories 4

Why DNS? l Its there. . • It works. . its global. . it scales. . its fast its open. . . l Why not something else? • X. 500 ? • It was the judgment of the IESG to explore the DNS option first. 5

What ENUM is NOT… l Actual Routing of Phone calls within the terminating application protocol. . what ever that may be. l It is not a “white pages directory service” l Does not list “capabilities” of endpoints – IETF RESCAP WG 6

“Out of Scope” for ENUM l Provisioning “e 164. int” l Propagation l Administration l Service Logic l Carrier Accounting - Reconciliation l Anything to do with “policy” 7

How does ENUM Work? l Take a fully qualified E. 164 number and create a DNS entry in a highly defined and structured domain. l The search for resources associated with 1 314 918 -9020 becomes a look up to : 0. 2. 0. 9. 8. 1. 9. 4. 1. 3. 1. e 164. int l Each digit becomes a definable and distributed “zone” in DNS terms 8

How does ENUM Work? l Response to query for 2. 8. 0. 4. 6. 2. 6. 5. 8. 6. 4. e 164. int In this response the prefered contact method is SIP ord IN NAPTR 102 pr fl service re replacement 10 "a" "sip+N 2 R" "" "sip: paf@swip. net”. 10 "s" "potscall+N 2 R" "" _potscall. _tcp. paf. swip. net. 10 "a" "smtp+N 2 R" "" "mailto: paf@swip. net". In this response the prefered contact method is H. 323 IN NAPTR 10 10 "s" "sip+N 2 R" "" “h 323 gw. tele 3. se. IN NAPTR 102 10 "s" "potscall+N 2 R" "" _potscall. _tcp. paf. swip. net. IN NAPTR 102 10 "a" "smtp+N 2 R" "" "mailto: paf@swip. net". 9

ENUM in Vo. IP Gateways l ENUM allows gateways to find each other. l ENUM is not for routing calls where than one gateway can handle the call. • IPTEL WG – [TRIP] Telephony Routing Information Protocol ( proposed ) 10

ENUM in Universal Messaging l EMA-IETF Voice Profile for Internet Mail [VPIM] l ENUM enables carrier and enterprise Voice Mail systems to interoperate and exchange messages l Retrieve voice mail from anywhere in the world with a local call 11

ENUM in Fax l Fax is not “dead. ” • Fax is a essential global communications service. • Fax number to E-Mail box [IETF RFC 2305 -ITU T. 37] • Fax number to ITU-T. 38 servers • Fax number to Internet Print Protocol servers 12

ENUM in Local Number Portability l ENUM could be used for Local Number Portability by carriers. l SCP servers could query DNS for available records. 13
