  5. What is ENUM? • Based on Domain Name System (DNS) • Same as internet domain names • DNS service: • User types in domain (key) into browser etc • DNS lookup performed • Lookup yields onward routing information • Information for mail delivery, website etc • In ENUM • Telephone number is used as key

  6. What is ENUM? Query: +353 1 2365 400 ? ENUM Response: mailto:ops@ienum.ie http://www.enum.ie/ … Internet

  7. How does ENUM work? • tElephone NUmber Mapping • Electronic Numbering • Protocol defined by IETF (RFC3761) • ENUM is a means to map telephone numbers to internet addresses • Uses well established Domain Name System • IENUM Limited launched commercial Irish ENUM service in May 2007

  8. How does ENUM work? • An ENUM lookup has two components • Telephone number conversion to domain : • +353-1-2365409 becomes :- • 35312365409 • 3.5.3.1.2.3.6.5.4.0.9 • 9.0.4.5.6.3.2.1.3.5.3 9.0.4.5.6.3.2.1.3.5.3.e164.arpa • This domain is then used as a key to lookup internet services/addresses • Query for NAPTR RR in DNS:- • NAPTR format similar to MX record, order & preference fields • NAPTR payload can contain SIP addr, email addr etc • All done in software

  9. ENUM - Use cases

  10. ienum.ie University A Use cases: VoIP without ENUM PSTN dials +353 1 2365400 +353 1 2365400 +353 1 2345678 Internet sip:office@ienum.ie Sip:100@universitya.ie

  11. Worlds apart – Internet and PSTN ? Addressing formats differ sip:office@ienum.ie +353 1 2365400
