Slide 2
Current situation
Terminal location
• End terminal located with signaling protocol and DNS
”user@host”, ”user@server”
• Mapping from name (E.164, URL, e-mail) to address (IP address)
• Mapping stored in location server (gatekeeper, signaling server)
• Manually configured or obtained through registration
• Directory servers (ULS, ILS)
E.164 numbers selected for IP Telephony by TIPHON
• Can be entered with numeric keypad
• Users don’t need to know if the receiver is a IP or PSTN subscriber

Slide 3
Current situation
Gateway location
• Similar to terminal location, number@gateway
• Gateway selected manually by caller or by signaling server
• New selection if gateway is unavailable
Number portability
• Change service provider, location or service type without changing
telephone number
• IP Telephony -> number portability between PSTN and IP
• Currently available in the PSTN only
• Mapping from directory number to routing number (or routing prefix)
• Routing number has hierarchy
• Mapping performed by Intelligent Network (IN)

Slide 4
Problems
Given a phone number corresponding to a specific host on the IP
network, determine the IP address of the host.
 Terminal location problem
Given a phone number corresponding to a terminal on the PSTN,
determine the IP address of a gateway capable of completing calls to
that phone.
 Gateway location problem

Slide 5
Problems
• Mappings are not distributed between signaling servers and
location servers
• E.164 numbers cannot be used globally
• Users must select gateway manually
• Which gateways are available and suitable for this call?
Nicklas Beijar - TRIP, ENUM and Number Portability
Slide 6
TRIP
• Telephony Routing over IP
• IETF protocol, still at draft stage
• Distributes routing information between location servers
• Information about gateways and the numbers reachable
through them
• Routes to gateways and signaling servers
• Modeled after BGP-4
• Gateway selection driven by policies
• Interdomain protocol between Internet Telephony Administrative
Domains (ITAD)
• Interdomain synchronization based on SCSP and OSPF
• Information transported as attributes of the UPDATE message
• Expandable

Slide 7
TRIP attributes
Name
Description
Withdrawn routes
List of telephone numbers that are no longer available.
Reachable routes
List of reachable telephone numbers.
Next hop server
The next signaling server on the path towards the destination.
Advertisement path
The path that the route advertisement has traveled.
Routed path
The path that the signaling messages will travel.
Atomic aggregate
Local preference
Indicates that the signaling may traverse ITADs not listed in the
routed path attribute.
The intra-domain preference of the location server.
Multi exit disc
The inter-domain preference of the route if several links are used.
Communities
For grouping destinations in groups with similar properties.
ITAD topology
For advertising the ITAD topology to other servers in the same ITAD.
Authentication
Authentication of selected attributes.

tElephone NUmbering Mapping
RFC 2916
Maps E.164 numbers into Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI)
The URIs represent different ways to contact a host
• SIP, H.323, TEL, email, ...
• Uses the Domain Name System (DNS)
• E.164 number rewritten as a domain name:
->
+358-9-4515303
3.0.3.5.1.5.4.9.8.5.3.e164.arpa

Example NAPTR records

IN NAPTR 10
10 “u” “sip+E2U”
“!^.*$!sip:[email protected]!”

IN NAPTR 100 10 “u” “mailto+E2U”
“!^.*$!mailto:[email protected]!” .

Sample service registrar configuration:

Number portability
•
Scenarios for hybrid PSTN-IP networks:
1. The number moves within the PSTN.
2. The number moves between PSTN and IP.
3. The number moves within the IP network.
•
•
ENUM allows the mapping to be modified at different levels
Another gateway may be more suitable
 In most cases, information in ALL protocols must be updated
Nicklas Beijar - TRIP, ENUM and Number Portability
Slide 15
Conclusions
• TRIP solves the gateway location problem
• Distributes routing information between location servers
• ENUM solves the terminal location problem
• Provides mapping between names to addresses
• E.164 numbers
• In the PSTN, number portability implemented with IN
• Number portability can be implemented with TRIP and ENUM
• Still missing
• Automatic updating of infomation between TRIP, ENUM and IN
• Gateway location for the PSTN
