What is PINT?

PSTN/Internet Interworking


Working Group in IETF; Protocol & MIB
Way of driving GSTN Services from IP Net
High level Requests from IP Net, Execution
within GSTN, Reponses back
 Can re-use existing I.N. systems

Why Simple Services make Cents


There are 900 Million steam phones
Existing GSTN Services get new customers
Loose-Coupled : Little change, simple config
 Can re-use existing I.N. & Billing Systems
 “Internet-enables” your Central Offices
 International Callback, Web Directories,...

PINT Status

PINT Protocol
Based on SIP/SDP
 Extensions are going to “final call”


PINT MIB
Based on Application MIB
 Initial Specification released
 Discussion continuing

IETF/ITU PINT Relationship
PINT
Client

IETF PINT WG deals
with IP Protocol for
carrying requests &
responses; how the
requested services are
executed is someone
else’s problem

ITU/IETF Relationship



ITU SG11 deals with Architecture and
Protocols between GSTN Components
Liaison to PINT WG agreed at March ITU
SG11 meeting
Agreement that PINT works with Existing
I.N. Recommendations

A PINT Gateway is a (very) clever terminal

PINT Implementations &
Timelines

PINT Products from Siemens & Lucent
Both companies demonstrated at CeBIT
 Siemens’ EWSD supports R2D services - now ;
INXpress v.7 VDI development in progress due Q1’01
 Lucent’s “Telecommand” supports R2D and
R2F services - now


Other implementations in progress

SAINT - Putting it all together



PINT - Requests from IP, Action in
GSTN, Status to IP
PIN/TNIP - Requests from GSTN,
Action in IP Net, Status to GSTN
SAINT - Combination services - PSTN
triggers IP Net and this then triggers
PSTN (or the other way)

PINT - Extension of Services and
Protocol Features, Management
PIN/TNIP - Service Requirements and
formally starting WG
ITU - CS4 - Parlay, PINT, and all that
Implementations - Expanded services
and creation tools, interoperability tests
The little matter of Security...
