  1. The at43 broadband IP Communications platform Michael Haberler IPA/Nic.at

  2. Introduction - nic.at &IPA • nic.at is the .at ccTLD registry • about 30 people, 310.000 domains • academic, ISP association background • now subsidiary of the beneficial „Internet Foundation Austria“ • goal • foster Internet development in Austria • operations of critical infrastructure for I(T)SP‘s mah/AT43

  3. motivation • „IP communications“ (VoIP, Chat/IM, Presence, Video, Gaming) reaches maturity – convergence is happing as we speak • terminals, soft clients, broadband deployment, codec advances... • Metcalfe‘s law and the necessity for interworking • unified addressing through ENUM • ENUM production service start Q2/2004 • time to explore the integrated service feasability mah/AT43

  4. the at43 project • prototypical „convergent“ service • assumption – besides Mail and Web IP realtime communications will be the „third pillar“ of ISP service • speculation: it will be driven by a SIP & ENUM combination • „contact is king“ • foster service development • start in a creative environment which is willing to trade innovation for some suffering • intended as a copy & paste blueprint for ISP‘s • for nic.at as likely production ENUM registry – a large scale proving ground for ENUM • integrate several user communities by integration into a generic service platform (universities, ISP‘s, engineering schools) • trial the concept of virtualized SIP/ENUM/PSTN service • name is derived from ISO country code at and PSTN code +43 mah/AT43

  5. services provided by at43 • a point of contact for „sessions“ (speech, chat, video, gaming..) • an URI like sip:j7650719@sip.univie.ac.at • a telephone number to go with it • calls are delivered from PSTN->Internet • Internet->PSTN too – if user has a contract with call-by-call telco (10xx access code) • presence service for Instant Messenging • a voice mailbox • a conference bridge IP & PSTN homed mah/AT43

  6. recap: what is SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) ? • how do I address „mobile“ Internet-endpoints? • natural form is the URI • mailto:mah@eunet.at • sip:j7650719@sip.univie.ac.at • unfortunately the client IP-address varies with location and time • solution chosen like e-mail: • fixed contact point provided by server • client reports to server periodically • server records „client coordinates“ • server can contact client when a session setup „comes in“ • protocol flow pretty much like in cellular networks mah/AT43

  9. so what is ENUM? • how do I dial an URI when all I have is a rotary dial? • mapping phone number -> URI • domains map names to IP adresses • ENUM maps telephone numbers to URI • using the very same DNS • an ENUM entry might be: • +43 664 4213465 -> sip:mah@nic.at43.at mah/AT43

  10. E.164 addressing with ENUM IN NAPTR 3.0.0.6.3.3.6.6.9.9.5.1.1.3.4.e164.arpa. ? ... NAPTR ... "!^.*!sip:mah@nic.at43.at!" +43159966366003 sip:mah@nic.at43.at session sip:axelm@nic.at43.at sip:mah@nic.at43.at sip:18341@fwd.pulver.com sip:19343@fwd.pulver.com mah/AT43

  15. at43 plan • nic.at operates service for 2-3 years together with University of Vienna • integrate new user groups • if a success, finish the project • then the I(T)SP‘s will do it • if a flop, finish the project • then we know how not to do it.. mah/AT43
