What would it take to overthrow the PSTN using SIP? Dayton Turner ClueCon 2013
Objectives • Reduce (or eliminate!) the dependency on the PSTN • Establish de-centralized routing database / phone book • Increase functionality and flexibility of current routing mechanisms • Get the conversation started
Similar systems • ENUM • Centralized • Requires explicit verification per DID • Simply provides raw SIP URI • DUNDi • Asterisk only • BGP • Operates on same basic principles of peers and trust
What is necessary? • Identify areas where other systems failed to reach mass adoption • Define secure peering mechanism • Protocol for data exchange • Build ready-to-go implementation
Ideas • Service broadcast (like Bonjour) • Peer to peer neighbor learning • Inbound DID directory • White/Yellow page replacement • Outbound routing possibilities
More ideas • Health monitoring between sites • Potentially offer alternate media routing paths that were designed for voice • Allow for advanced routing criteria (avoid known un-trusted networks) • ?????
Concerns • Security is huge • Need network operators to experiment and test • Privacy in an open directory?! • Love to hear your concerns and ideas!
Where do we start? • Discussion • ClueCon, mailing list • We are starting work using Kazoo • Building with API abstraction in mind for connecting to arbitrary data stores
