Re: [Enum] Re: [Geopriv] Re: [Simple] tel URIs in common policy



I think we have detected a problem here:
(I have read the sip-identity draft now ;-)
 
Starting with Jonathans request to use 
sip:+1-232-555-1234 at foo.com;user=phone
only if foo.com is the carrier hosting the E.164 number
in the FROM Field for identity assertion
he also proposed to use this in the TO field
only if the carrier is the one hosting the E.164 number
in all other case the following should be used if 
an intermediary is used

 
>>INVITE tel:+1973952500 SIP/2.0
>>Route: sip:<whatever-you-want>@gateway.provider.com
>
> 
> instead of the currently used
> sip:tel:+1973952500 at gateway.provider.com;user=phone
 
This makes sense also in carrier ENUM, but: only
if the NAPTR is pointing to the final destination network
 
But there could be cases that a group of carriers, say e.g. the
mobile operators, still want to use for final routing their own provate
network. The public carrier ENUM enrty could then point to a SBC
sitting of the edge of the private network
 
According to the above proposal in this case
>>INVITE tel:+1973952500 SIP/2.0
>>Route: sip:<whatever-you-want>@gateway.provider.com
 
should be used to access the SBC
but this cannot be entered in ENUM
only
> sip:tel:+1973952500 at gateway.provider.com;user=phone

is currently possible
but there is no way to distuingish for the
originating network if the destination is a gateway
or the destination network
 
Maybe an additional parameter could help here to
construct
>>INVITE tel:+1973952500 SIP/2.0
>>Route: sip:<whatever-you-want>@gateway.provider.com
out of the ENUM URI
if this becomes recommended practice.
sip:tel:+1973952500 at gateway.provider.com;user=phone;route=gw

Paul,

I understand what you are driving at when presented a sip address
containing an E.164 number with no other context.  But, I would suggest
that putting such a number into Carrier ENUM must be limited to the
carrier of record currently serving that phone number.  Otherwise, what
stops all 3000+ carriers in the US from asking to put an entry for my
phone number into that location of the Carrier ENUM tree pointing
traffic to their domain?

Mike
