Communication originating on IP-enabled
terminal:
– ENUM may be used for determining:
• availability of Internet-based communications
service for B-party
AND / OR
• destination communications service preferred
by B-party
– A-party will need client software to query ENUM

For voice communications originating on IPenabled terminal…
– A-party will need VoIP client software
– If B-party termination is on standard telephone
terminal, A-party will need subscription to VoIP
service provider with gateway to telephony
network
– If B-party termination is on IP-enabled terminal, Bparty will need VoIP service
– ENUM may support alternate line service

Call originating on telephony network
– ENUM may be used when at least one of possible
destination communications services is Internetbased
– A-party will need proxy in telephony network

In what circumstances should call originating on
telephony network be routed via proxy?
–
SCENARIO A:
Supplementary service in originating network to check all
calls for ENUM entry for dialled number
–
SCENARIO B:
Access number dialled to select proxy service of particular
provider, which checks for ENUM entry for dialled number
– If ENUM entry exists under either scenario, call is
completed in accordance with information returned by
ENUM

How ENUM will be used…
…for operator applications

QUESTION:
– Why would network operators use ENUM?
ASSUMPTION:
– IP-based infrastructure is used in providing
telephone services
PROBLEMS:
– How can real-time operational functions that rely
on access to IN databases be performed?
– When should call be routed to IP-based POI?

11
PROBLEM 1:
How can real-time operational functions that
rely on access to IN databases be performed?
– Examples of real-time operational functions
requiring access to IN databases:
– number portability
– number translation services
– Solution may be to establish ENUM-like database
to provide equivalent infrastructure, using
telephone number as key

PROBLEM 2:
When should call be routed to IP-based POI?
– Certain numbers may only be reached via IPbased infrastructure
– Terminating network may offer both TDM-based
and IP-based POIs
– Solution may be to establish ENUM-like database
to identify availability of IP-based POI, using
dialled telephone number as key

ENUM-like database required, which may be:
• internal to operator
OR
• established as extranet available to consortium
of operators
OR
• in Internet domain separated from domain used
for ENUM user applications
How ENUM will be
administered…
14
Proposed that administration for ENUM is
divided into tiers
Each higher tier delegates authority for portion
of its domain name space to entities
responsible for lower tiers
Each higher tier provides pointers to data
contained in name servers for lower tiers

administered
15
Tier 0
• Global name server contains records
•
Tier 1
• National name server contains records
•
Tier 2
corresponding to telephone country codes
Contains pointers to national-level name
servers
corresponding to individual telephone numbers
Contains pointers to name servers containing
data for individual telephone numbers
• Individual telephone number name server
contains naming address pointer records

What entities will be involved in ENUM
administration?

– name server providers
– registries
– registrars
– Service providers
– telephony service providers
– Internet-based application service providers
– End users

Potential issues…
18
Some issues directly related to ENUM:
– Domain name system infrastructure
– who is competent to run registries?
– who selects and accredits registries?
– to whom are registries accountable?
– Control of ENUM resources
– who will control or have influence over insertion of
–
telephone numbers in ENUM? — “opt-in” by end users?
who will control or have influence over content of naming
address pointer records?

19
Some issues directly related to ENUM:
– Integrity of ENUM resources
– how will authority to insert, maintain and remove ENUM
–
resources be authenticated?
how will ENUM data be protected from attack?
– Protection of data in ENUM resources
– how will privacy of personal information be protected?
– how will unwanted exploitation of personal data be
minimised?
– Special meaning of numbers
– will special tariffs associated non-geographic numbers be
preserved by Internet-based applications?

Some issues related to applications that will use
ENUM:
– How will providers of applications that use ENUM
be subject to national jurisdiction?
– Will applications that use ENUM effectively bypass existing telephony services?
– How will Internet-based voice applications that use
ENUM determine terminating network for ported
numbers?
ENUM trials…

– United Kingdom
– major focus is on administrative issues
– Austria
– major focus is on technical issues
