Mike, Jon:

thanks for your helpful comments. In rewriting the spec, I also found
this dual use somewhat confusing.

I'm all for shorter specs that we can actually get implementation
reports for, so if I get the gist of your proposal:

- Just a "tel" URL in this draft; no 'fax:' or 'modem:'

- No post-dial strings or 'waiting-for-dial-tone' characters (p, w).

- No carrier identification.

For the record (and to conserve the text in case it needs to reappear),
the new I-D will appear as is, but I will then push out a streamlined
version unless somebody makes a convincing argument within the next week
that the features above are vital and that they have implemented them or
are planning to. (As usual for interop reports, I will be glad to treat
such information as confidential; there is no need to make your intents
and identity a matter of public record.)

Note that special-purpose, private parameters are permissible. We should
probably get IANA involved soon. I'd rather not delay the 2806bis draft
in the desperate attempt to demonstrate interoperability of special
features.

the media gateway and should not be specified in the tel URL, comes the issue of
how the media gateway can know how to do this?

 Contrary to what was said below, it seems to me that the originator would know
that the 'wait for dial tone' is needed in typical cases and that this fact
would not be known to media gateways.. With the example given below of the use
of 'wait for dial tone' on a PBX with DISA or some similar functionality, a user
would enter a public PSTN number followed by a number of digits. How would the
MG know that the routing plan for the number should have a 'wait for dial tone'
in it? The public PSTN number is likely one that the owners of the media gateway
are unaware of. It would be very unlikely that they would have programmed their
routes to behave in the proper manner.

Subject:  Re: [IPTEL] Comments on RFC 2806 revision (tel url)



Mike, Jon:

thanks for your helpful comments. In rewriting the spec, I also found
this dual use somewhat confusing.

I'm all for shorter specs that we can actually get implementation
reports for, so if I get the gist of your proposal:

- Just a "tel" URL in this draft; no 'fax:' or 'modem:'

- No post-dial strings or 'waiting-for-dial-tone' characters (p, w).

- No carrier identification.

For the record (and to conserve the text in case it needs to reappear),
the new I-D will appear as is, but I will then push out a streamlined
version unless somebody makes a convincing argument within the next week
that the features above are vital and that they have implemented them or
are planning to. (As usual for interop reports, I will be glad to treat
such information as confidential; there is no need to make your intents
and identity a matter of public record.)

Note that special-purpose, private parameters are permissible. We should
probably get IANA involved soon. I'd rather not delay the 2806bis draft
in the desperate attempt to demonstrate interoperability of special
features.

Its an issue of scope and what problem people agree we are trying to 
solve. The problem we were chartered to solve, and the problem people 
want to solve, is managing the resources of a set of PSTN gateways 
fronted by a proxy. Thus, this is the problem that will drive 
requirements for the protocol.

[RRR] Good that you have provided the technical points. Let me understand your points while you are defining the scope of the "registration protocol." Is there any document that we can look into because, now, you are saying that the managing of resources of the PSTN GW resources ONLY (not the other GWs although the title of your contribution says that the GW registration protocol)?

[RRR] If there is an agreed upon written document of the scope, we would not spend time in debating the scope of the " GW registration protocol."

No, I am saying exactly what it says above. The protocol will be driven 
by requirements to handle the case where a proxy fronts a set of PSTN 
gateways whose resources it wishes to manage. If, when we are done, it 
turns out that such a protocol can in fact be used for something that is 
not a PSTN gateway, well thats fine. But it doesn't drive requirements.

[RRR] Let us add to clarify this more. It is rather SIP-ISUP GW from protocol point of view. The attributes like address family, capacity, QOS, etc. that are abstracted from the ISUP side, people call it as "PSTN" GW attributes (PSTN GW is a wrong term - an MGC/MG would have better because it is an application layer entity). In the SIP side, we are assuming that the SIP proxy and the LS are collocated, and the attributes (e.g., address family, capacity, QOS, etc) that abstracted from the SIP side are communicated via the LS.

[RRR] In the same token, we also call SIP-H.323 GW. We are NOT talking about the protocol conversion per se. Like SIP-ISUP GW, we are also talking about the attributes of the GW from the SIP side as well as from the H.323 side. For example, address family, capacity, QOS, etc. are considered for the SIP-H.323 GW registration as well.

[RRR] We hope that these clarifications will help to remove some mis-conceptions. So, we can now consider all kinds of GWs in the same baseline including SIP-ISUP, SIP-H.323, etc.

You have asked for things like address families that are in the form of 
domain names. We will not consider that as a requirement. In any case, I 
don't think it makes any sense at all, since if you know the domain 
name, sounds like DNS is what you want. 

[RRR] The address families can include like E.164, email IDs, URL IDs, etc (as it has been done in H.323/H.225.0 Annex G). DNS may not be involved directly as it can be seen in the case of H.323/H.225.0 Annex G.

I fought against the inclusion 
of domain-name based address families in TRIP in the first place for the 
same reasons.

[RRR] It is a good news that you fought for something that is needed in TRIP where E.164 address families have been addressed. You might have also fought NOT to include the SIP-ISUP (PSTN) GW capacity, QOS, and other attributes that are very very complex to propagate among the LSs in the inter-Domain environment. You did all the right things for TRIP and I agree with you.

[RRR] However, the above things do NOT need to be true for the GW registration protocol. A GW registers all its attributes including address families (E.164, email IDs, URL IDs, etc.), capacity, QOS, and others. How all these attributes will be propagated among the LSs either in the intra-Domain or in the inter-Domain is a separate issue. For example, TRIP allows to propagate only the E.164 address family among the LSs in inter-Domain environment, NOT the email IDs, URL IDs, capacity, QOS, or other attributes.

[RRR] Now we can examine how other protocols have been developed in solving the above problem. For example, H.323 allows that a GW will be able to register all kinds of address families (e.g., E.164, email IDs, URL IDs, etc.), capacity, etc. H.323/H.225.0 allows how all these address families (e.g., E.164, email IDs, URL IDs, etc.) can be communicated among the GKs using the LRQ/LCF/LRJ messages in intra-Domain environment. And a complete H.323/H.225.0 Annex G protocol suit has been developed to transfer all these addresses (e.g., E.164, email IDs, URL IDs, etc.) among the GKs/BEs in inter-Domain environment along with other attributes.

[RRR] So, our point has been that if we develop the GW registration protocol that registers all the attributes of a SIP-ISUP (PSTN) GW, we do not need to develop any NEW protocol to register the attributes of the SIP-H.323 GW from the SIP side (H.323 side is already taken care of by the H.323 protocol suits). For example, the GW registration protocol will have a field for address family and the same field can be used to register all addresses (e.g., E.164, email IDs, URL IDs, etc.) as desired. The thing that we need to take care of is that TRIP or I-TRIP will use ONLY the E.164 addresses (not email IDs, or URL IDs) among the LSs for propagation of routes. It is NOT a rocket science.


> [RRR] I am assuming that we will develop the registration protocol

You are fixated on protocol conversions. That is not the problem at hand.

[RRR] We are NOT talking about the protocol conversion like SIP-ISUP or SIP-H.323 as explained above. We are ONLY interested about the attributes (e.g., address family, capacity, QOS, etc) of the GW that is seen from the SIP proxy/LS side. We are NOT concerned about the ISUP or H.323 or SIP protocol per se. So, there is no reason that you should be concerned with.

The type of SS7 protocol is not the primary point; 

[RRR] Agreed as clarified above.

the primary 
point is that these are PSTN gateways, possibly large ones, with 
attributes that reflect the fact that there is PSTN connectivity. That 
means its things like ASR and PDD that need to be conveyed.

[RRR] As I mentioned before, we are developing the GW registration protocol that will have the fields like address family, capacity, QOS, and others to satisfy the needs of the SIP-ISUP [PSTN] GW first. Once we do this, the same fields can also be used to satisfy the needs of the registration for other GWs like SIP-H.323 GW by default. We do NOT need to do any extra work. Let us keep our mind OPEN, because we are developing the GW registration protocol (not the TRIP [inter-Domain] or I-TRIP [intra-Domain] that works among the LSs ONLY for the E.164 address family).

[RRR] The main thrust of our argument is that the same GW registration protocol that will be used to satisfy the needs of the SIP-ISUP [PSTN] GW will also be applicable to register the SIP-H.323 GW as explained above.

Jon,

Carrier IDs are used as an attribute to affect routing.  Carriers have 
multiple switching points that can be contacted through some type of 
signaling address.  Within a switching center, there are multiple trunk 
groups to other switching centers which may belong to the same carrier or 
different carriers.  Choosing a TG from that switching center determines 
what next switching center the call can be routed to, and by inference, 
what the next hop carrier will be.  Therefore, the carrier ID can determine 
what TG will be selected from that switching center.

The originating side wants to route to a given carrier and location and 
uses the inferred signaling address.  The destination side maps the carrier 
to an appropriate trunk group to get to that carrier and destination user 
address.

The 101 prefix dialing is just a method of indicating the carrier to use at 
by the switch terminating the local loop.  The fact that the next switching 
center can reach another carrier through another TG would be irrelevant, if 
the information was facility-based and not subverted by business 
arrangements.  But, given those business arrangements, what you are 
pointing out is that the CIC:TG relationship is not hierarchical and thus a 
TG could have multiple carriers associated with it.  That holds true if 
circuits are shared across carriers and the originating user is not 
affected by this business arrangement (i.e. charged for the next-hop 
facilities used to reach the desired carrier).

Question 1:  If 2 carriers were reach able over the same T-3, with one 
directly reachable and the other indirectly reachable, would the gateway 
almost always allocate the one physical facility as 2 logical trunk groups 
anyway?  (Thus restoring the TG infers CIC mapping.)

We already know that any switch in the PSTN can reach any other.  The real 
question is how to route such that the PSTN path is minimized at the 
expense of a more direct IP path (assumes that is the least cost 
path).  The use of TG data should be of local significance only at the 
egress of the IP network.

I agree with your call for some type of geographic attribute.  But, I don't 
understand your final statement.  I don't want to see carrier's charges on 
my bill, if as the caller I specify a particular long-distance or 
international carrier.  Also, will the CIC always be based on national body 
registration, or will IANA or someone ever assign international CIC codes 
for global carriers?

I agree with your definition of a trunk group; we arrived at a similar one
on the mailing list earlier (i.e. roughly, a bundle of DS0's between two
PSTN network entities that are grouped under some kind of common policy).

I agree as well that this definition does not include what the resources are
that are available through a trunk group; nor for the purposes of gateway
registration does the definition of a gateway include the E.164 number
ranges that can be reached through it (the TRIP model). My contention has
been that considering the resources that are available through a trunk group
may offer us slightly greater leverage on the problems we are trying to
solve than considering the resources that are available through a gateway -
partially because there are many varieties of gateways, and I believe
slightly less variation amongst trunk groups.

We discussed splitting TGs across multiple GWs at SLC - if I recall, I was
willing to commit to that proposition with the small caveat that you can't
split SS7 IMT TGs across PCs. However, I'm sure you'll acknowledge that it
isn't uncommon for ISDN NFAS groups to straddle physical gateways, and I
feel that our definition of TG should be broad enough to include these.

The question of whether the 'route list' model gives us still more leverage
than the 'trunk group' model is interesting; 'route list' certainly provides
an even greater level of abstraction. Without going through a lot of
semantic hair-splitting, I think that trunk groups provide just the right
layer of abstraction. The question here is "What entities should the gwreg
system provide the availability of?" I think trunk groups have state that
changes dynamically, and that these states in turn determine the
availability of network resources. A proxy server that receives
registrations for such trunk groups would construct the 'route list,' as it
were, of alternative trunk groups that meet the routing criteria of calls. I
don't think a system in which 'route lists' were published to proxy servers
through the gateway registration process would grant us much additional
leverage on network design - in fact, I suspect it would just push the
problems around a bit.

I don't think we're really disagreeing about much of what you say below. I
agree with your account of how things operate in the PSTN. It sounds like we
agree that the relationship of CICs to TGs is not in any simple way
hierarchical.

The primary purpose of my note on the CIC was to suggest a potential litmus
test for whether or not a CIC was routable through a TG. I think that's an
important definition for us all to agree on if we're going to consider
propagating attributes like CICs in the gw reg protocol.

In answer to the question you pose, I think my contention here is that one
logical trunk group could have more than one CIC associated with it. Imagine
a trivial VoIP network containing one proxy server and one PSTN gateway in
which the gateway had a single trunk group aimed at an access tandem.
Clearly, that trunk group would be the route for all CICs irrespective of
whether it was directly or indirectly connected to any given carrier.
Introduce a second trunk group going to a different access tandem, and
perhaps this trunk group would be a better route for some set of CICs. But
in neither case would you want to construct, say, one logical trunk group
per CIC and overlay them all on the physical trunk(s) - that would be quite
an administrative headache.

I'm not sure I necessarily agree that the question with CICs is "how to
route such that the PSTN path is minimized at the expense of a more direct
IP path", or even that this is necessarily a least-cost problem. There have
been significant head-end hop-off vs. tail-end hop-off arguments with regard
to CIC routing levied here in the past. Fortunately, I think this is
ultimately a routing policy question, and really any of these philosophies
could be enabled by the CIC propagation systems we're discussing above. 

And, my final statement in my previous mail was intended only to illustrate
that CICs are national in scope - that's all.

Yes, I think our perspectives are consistent.  What I have a problem with 
is getting wrapped around the axle with propagating routing information 
across the network, that in the end may not provide a useful discriminator 
for choosing one route over another.  What makes one gateway hop-off point 
better than another?

Are we minimizing PSTN (or other) network administrations that we must cross?
Are we minimizing conversion points (RTP to TDM) that may introduce noise?
Can a network capacity re-seller reduce the number of billing relationships?

My starting axiom was that the call was routed into the IP world or started 
there for a reason, and that IP was the preferred path to effectively make 
all calls local.  Your point that the existing CIC codes are inherently 
geographical on a large scale also points to the possible need to define 
geographic attributes on a smaller scale as well.

I Realize that routing intelligence in the L/S is what everyone's going for, 
but all in all, shouldent (In a carrier scenario, at least) the carrier 
originating the call be able to route it on critera they specify??   (E.G. 
QoS, E.164, Route costing via TG/Carrier preference, etc.)  (-D)

Someone had once introduced the suggestion that a G/W, or L/S could have the 
possibility to "Advertise" its going rate, while this sounds pretty viable 
for retail, this takes away any possibility of autonomous Least Cost Routing 
via Carrier Wholesale billing arangements/agreements...   How would this be 
solved? (-D)

And immediately below in 2.4.3 it says:

"Data corresponding to excluded characters must be escaped in order to
   be properly represented within a URI."

This is a common misunderstanding about URLs: Just about any character
can appear in a URL, as long as it is escaped. It just can't be used
as-is. Space, as is, also couldn't be used as a delimiter between parts
of the URL. 

http://www.example.com/A%20filename%20with%20spaces

is a perfectly valid URL.

The latter reason is, of course, a concern. If there was a large
installed base of non-changeable devices, I would be inclined to agree
that this would not be worth the hassle. I have no opinion on this.

This is from rfc2396 section 2.4.3:
"The space character is excluded because 
significant spaces may disappear and 
insignificant spaces may be introduced 
when URI are transcribed or typeset or 
subjected to the treatment of 
word-processing programs.  Whitespace is 
also used to delimit URI in many contexts."

The last sentence might be a reason to
exclude spaces.  Backwards compatibility
with rfc2806 might be another.

Darby,

I don't think anything I said precludes a carrier from making the routing 
decision based on their defined policy.  Rather, I am saying that such 
decisions must be made based on the availability of meaningful data.  If 
the data is not available locally at the originating routing point or 
available, but not very meaningful (i.e. all GWs can reach all carriers), 
then that negatively affects the ability to make those decisions.

So, if you have criteria, but no data to match those criteria, then the 
data contained in the TRIP reporting is deficient.

Mike

I assume you're *not* talking about the "routing" of the actual IP packets, 
but instead are talking about the forwarding of signalling information 
between IP network-attached servers or elements of some kind ... 
right?  Because, of course, you *can't* (nor can you expect) to ask for 
packet routing preferences across IP networks.  The guys who work on BGP 
and other packet routing protocols across the network aren't going to pay 
much attention to such requests, methinks....

Of course, I'm a total non-participant in all this, and could be completely 
missing the point here (e.g. maybe you're talking about routing in the PSTN 
and I'm just missing it).  If so, my apologies for my lame comments.  I 
just can't seem to avoid posting things to lists I'm totally unqualified to 
comment on.  (The old software engineer in this exec just won't die no 
matter how hard I try.... ;-)

Jon,

Although you said above that you agree with my definition of "Trunk Group" 
(copied from T1.523), your reply to Mike Hammer the same day still indicates 
that you have a very much different concept of what a "trunk group" is and 
how it is used in routing calls to specific carriers (based on the CIC). Mike 
Hammer's e-mail correctly described the routing. Interpretation of the CIC 
(or any other digits dialed) results in a pointer to a trunk group. 
Obviously, multiple CICs can point to the same trunk group, and, with 
alternate routing, each CIC can point to multiple trunks groups (in an 
ordered list defined as a "route list"). I guess this is what you mean by 
saying that this relationship is not "hierarchical". I would say it's not 
one-to-one or one-to-many, but rather many-to-many. In telephony routing 
"hierarchical" has had a different meaning.

It confuses the issue to describe trunk groups in terms of what CICs (or 
E.164 number ranges) they can reach, which is what your comments still do. 
Further, your statement that "One or more CICs may be 'preferred' for a 
particular trunk [group] by some switch ..." does not correctly represent the 
dialed digit interpretation/alternate routing that takes place.

I'm further confused by the references to "logical trunk groups" and what 
significance this has. It is possible for an implemenation to further 
subdivide actual (physical) trunk groups into some "logical" sub-grouping, 
for example, to help it prevent glare on two-way trunks, but I don't think 
this is an important concept to include in these discussions. Does "logical 
trunk group" have some additional meaning or significance?

Regarding your comment on "whether the 'route list' model gives us still more 
leverage than the 'trunk group' model" --- the "trunk group" concept is 
fundamental to all descriptions of routing, since it represents the actual 
physical facilities (sometimes DS0s as you noted) between real network 
elements. The "route list" concept, on the other hand, represents the 
internal workings of a switch and does not impact the signaling between 
switches, so is less important. However, it is a useful concept and 
definition since it helps to have a common concept of how telephone calls are 
routed (what I call "alternate routing").

I certainly think you have a valid concern; there definitely is a
relationship between the attributes propagated by the gateway registration
protocol and the routing decisions (for call setup signaling) made by the
proxies that receive these registrations. TRIP strongly couples the two - in
fact, TRIP provides for three major functions:

1) The protocol itself for propagating routes from one point to the next 
2) Way of making forwarding decisions for calls based on discriminators
propagated in the protocol (TRIBs)
3) Way of deciding what routes you will share with peers

By ruling intradomain route propagation outside of the scope of the gw reg
deliverable, we've essentially made the third item above out of scope. None
of our existing requirements, I think, really address the second problem -
nor have we necessarily agreed that this problem is even in the scope of
gateway registration. I'd really like to hear people's opinions about that.

I definitely agree that discriminators should provide enough data to allow
meaningful routing decisions to be made by proxy servers; however, I don't
think we should wed discriminators to any particular routing philosophy. I
think ideally, the set of discriminators should be flexible enough to enable
any of the hop-off philosophies you describe below, depending on the policy
of the service provider accepting gateway registrations (a little MAAP, I
know). I would be really cautious about any gw reg protocol that seemed to
limit the sort of forwarding decisions that might be made within the proxy
server. 

Note that, as I understand it, TRIP builds in some limitations here (like
hierarchical discriminators).

Jon,

I am also assuming that, while some information may be provisioned directly 
into the LS or available through other protocol mechanisms, much of the 
data shared with peers internal or external to the administrative domain 
will be derived from the data learned through the GW-Reg.  So, there may be 
stuff put in GW-reg because the follow-on protocols expect to be able to 
pass that data.

Mike

My email had suggested that we coin a new term, as it were, and define
whether a CIC is 'reachable' through a trunk group based on certain specific
criteria - I recognize that the 'reachability' of CICs is not an existing
concept in the PSTN, and I apologize if this concept confuses you.
Traditional PSTN switches do not support dynamic gateway registration, and
yes, therefore the PSTN has no need for a protocol that propagates
reachability information at all. Despite your reservations, we all really do
agree, I think, on how CICs are routed in a traditional telephone switch. An
IP telephony network of gateways is not, however, a traditional telephone
switch, and I believe this concept of 'reachability' is useful in this new
domain - it been used, for example, throughout the TRIP literature since its
inception (i.e. E.164 numbers are 'reachable' through a particular gateway).

In a similar spirit, my suggestion that CICs might be 'available' or
'preferred' with regard to a particular trunk group has no corrollary in
traditional telephone networks. However, I suspect you understand the
difference between a trunk being directly connected to a given carrier, and
a trunk group (like one pointing to an access tandem) being identified as a
route to multiple carriers. 'Available' and 'preferred' are attempts to
capture these sorts of characteristics of a trunk group in the scope of
'reachability', not to speak to how characteristics might be processed
during a route decision in a proxy. Propagating routes to proxies and making
routing decisions within proxies are related but distinct problems - this WG
is currently focused on the former, not the latter. 

I personally have no commitment to a concept of 'logical trunk groups' -
this was raised by Mr. Hammer, and my response to him indicated that I
wasn't sure how it would be applicable to this problem.

Incidentally, 'hierarchical', in the sense that I believe Mr. Hammer used
it, refers to how route discriminators are processed by the proxy server to
make a routing decision, based on the TRIP concept that discriminators
should be concatenated from most specific to least specific. Not all of the
nomenclature used in this discussion is predicated on PSTN antecedents.

The original motivation for the tel URL was not the same as its current 
usage. It was created to enable a PC with an internal fax/modem card to 
dial phone numbers when a URL is clicked. For example, when you click on 
tel:12345, your modem card would pick up and dial 12345. Since the URL 
is used directly to operate the modem, this is why things like pauses 
and post-dial digits were included.

This usage is quite different from its usage to describe a telephony 
resource, which is how it is used in SIP.

Agreed; the question is if the first usage is useful. It doesn't seem to
have attracted much use in practice. Part of the problem is that adding
URL schemes to browsers is still somewhat painful, if possible at all.
But I also think that this is like the perennial SDP and RTP URL
proposals - URLs just aren't expressive enough to contain "programs" and
complicated data structures.

As I mentioned before, for a modem connection, one typically needs a
whole lot more than a phone number and the number of stop bits,
including various pieces of authentication and PPP information.

For a fax URL, I'm not sure what this would do in a web page. Which
object would get faxed? 
(I can see popping up an application that then prompts for the document
to be faxed, similar to a mailto: URL.)

This is a decision the WG that are the "customers" of this URL need to
make. I'm basically of the opinion that unless there's a demonstrated
need for a feature, it gets ditched. Otherwise, we'll never get RFCs
beyond Proposed.

We're using them. Let me check with our implementers about whether this

I presume from your comments that you support a significant rewrite of RFC 
2806 and deletion of the things that were there to support PC/modem 
communication (like the AT command set I referred to) which would not be 
appropriate for specifying the destination telephone address.

Following are additional comments/thoughts on this subject:

Since the purpose is to define a telephony resource (a destination for a 
call), it would seem that there are three somewhat related uses for this url:

1. to represent the destination resource at the user interface for the human 
to enter/read
2. to represent the destination resource as seen by a user agent, for example 
in an A HREF html tag or the equivalent SIP user agent.
3. to represent the destination resource for inclusion in messages (e.g., in 
SIP)

In other signaling systems, the above would be distinct formats. In SIP, 
there is an assumption that these 3 uses must be the same format, as in HTTP, 
which has led to the difficulty with defining/understanding how to treat 
spaces and other things. It seems that, independent of whatever is done in 
SIP or in other protocols, the representation to the user should use exactly 
what is currently standardized in E.123. That is, the international number, 
which could include spaces, hyphens, or dots as visual separators or letters 
in place of numbers. When the tel: url is used internally (in an A HREF tag 
or in a signaling message), all visual separators would be removed and 
letters would be converted to the appropriate numbers.

There would need to be a specific decision on which of the procedure symbols 
defined in E.123 need to be included. My suggestions:

1. International prefix symbol - + used to indicate an international number 
(Note that this symbol is really defined in E.123 as indicating the need to 
dial an international prefix which is not included in the number since it 
depends on where one is dialing from. Here it is being used to indicate that 
an international number follows. This is pretty much the same in the end, but 
a slightly different definition.)
2. Parentheses - never used in an international number, but might be allowed 
in other numbers
3. Slash "/" to indicate multiple numbers - probably not allowed
4. ... to indicate in-dialing - actual uses of this are unknown
5. Tilde to indicate where another dial tone will occur - uses of this in 
real life as a part of the destination national or international number are 
unknown. It is defined in E.123 only as an indication to the human of where 
to expect another dial tone. It does not control signaling.

Representation of international numbers should be easy, since this is already 
defined in E.123. This results in a truely "uniform" resource locator.

If there is also a need to represent national numbers and private numbers, 
this causes difficulty in keeping them "uniform". Of course, E.123 defines 
the representation on printed material and includes the words "international" 
or "national" before the numbers, which the tel: url won't do. The absence of 
the "+" could mean national, however, the result is not "uniform" in the 
sense of being unique. Numbers from private number plans are much more of a 
problem since they are never unique.

Considering the three uses of the tel: url listed above: The representation 
at the user interface has a meaning only to that user. That is, the person 
understands the context of the number they enter or see. The representation 
within an A HREF html tag or equivalent has no knowledge of the context. 
Either it is unique (e.g., an international number) or the user agent must 
assume a context or determine it by other means. Within the signaling 
message, the context must be explicit. Here there is no reason to support 
national numbers, since they are just a subset of the international number. 
The user agent could always fill in the complete number. Private number plans 
must be supported, and some way to identify the context ("domain"?) is 
desired. I do not believe it should be a part of the tel: url, since the 
identification of the "domain" applies to other things besides the telephone 
number.

Since the purpose of the tel: url is to designate the destination resource, 
it should never include procedures for getting out of the originator's local 
environment. That is why dial tone detection and pauses, as used to control 
modems to get through the user's PBX, are not required.

Yes, I realize that the issue is "propagation" of routes rather than how that 
data is actually used to route calls. But I believe that a solid 
understanding and agreement of how telephony routing occurs is required 
before too much detail on "propagation" is done. I think Mike Hammer's 
comments are addressing this issue. There is a fundamental difficulty, since 
the network architecture requires that many trunk groups handle all traffic, 
regardless of the CIC or destination address specified, but the route 
propagation is based on a different concept.

Regardless of the functions of "route propagation", it seems to me that the 
function of "routing" still means that interpretation of the CIC (and other 
dialed information) results in the selection of an ordered list of trunk 
groups (physical facilities) by which a call can be routed (called a "route 
list" in T1.523). I especially have a concern with your statement that "CICs 
might be 'available' or 'preferred' with regard to a particular trunk group 
has no corrollary in traditional telephone networks". I don't think this 
statement represents the required routing logic (independent of how this 
information is propogated). I believe the required routing logic does have a 
direct corrollary in the traditional telephone network. The concepts of 
"available" and "preferred" are included by the ordered list of trunk groups. 
(The first trunk group is preferred, the second is preferred next, etc. All 
in the list are available.) The difficulty with indicating "preferred" and 
"available" in the route progagation procedure is that it can not indicate an 
actual order to be used in the actual route selection.

It seems that there must first be a common agreement on what routing 
procedures are required. Only then can route propogation procedures be 
defined.

No, there is no difficulty at all. Your beef seems to be with the URI 
concept in general, but issues like inclusion of spaces and other such 
things are well documented and understood within URIs. I would strongly 
oppose attempting to define three separate representations for the three 
things above.

One thing that makes tel URIs a bit different is this notion of visual
separators. I'm not really aware of other URI schemes that have the
notion of stripping certain "decorator" characters to arrive at a
canonical representation. Also, it is not clear to me that these have to
be in a URL. I don't see people putting tel URLs on a bus or business
card - everybody recognizes phone numbers just find without this. If the
tel URL is part of a web page, it's not visible to normal users that
don't watch the bottom status bar. Thus, something like

"Dial <a href="tel:+18005551212">(800) 555-1212</a> for directory
assistance."

is most likely and it doesn't matter that the URL itself doesn't support
() or spaces.

In any event, if we are to make progress on what is, after all, a fairly
small piece of the picture, I think we need to consider

- not breaking 2806 backwards-compatibility gratuitously.  This probably
precludes adding additional visual separators, unless people tell me
that implementations simply ignore punctuation until the first semicolon
(which would be a smart move...).

- describing features that are actually used. So far, a few people have
come forward indicating at least tepid support for phone-context and
maybe ISDN sub-addresses, so these are in the upcoming draft.

- removing features that might be interesting, but nobody seems to have
found a real-world use for. Various AT-style dial instructions and the
modem/fax URL schemes seem to fall into this category. If such a use is
identified in the future, both features can be added as separate drafts.
To make this possible for dial strings, I'll probably add wording that
anything after the first non-phonedigit character is to be ignored.
(This was in 2806, so this is not news:

   "If it is not supported, local entities MUST ignore everything in the
   dial string after the first <pause-character> and the user SHOULD be
   notified."


To repeat something I keep saying: eventually, we want to move things to
Draft Standard. Draft Standard requires two interoperable
implementations of every feature. Thus, this is the time to trim, not to
add.

The phone-context parameter does appear to be used, judging from private
email. One possibility would be to use IANA enterprise numbers for
labeling. They are free and short. (We just got one for Columbia a few
weeks ago; took about 10 minutes to fill out the form and a week to get
the number.) See
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/enterprise-numbers

Thus, something like

;phone-context=11862.cs (with CS being the department)

would label the number within the Dept. of Computer Science at Columbia.
Domain names are another possibility, but these dialing plans are not
really DNS domains, so this is rather artificial. In any event, an
entity would have to be programmed with a list of names to recognize.

Hi Everybody

    I am not very much clear about the application of
TRIP,as in case of H323 and and SIP messages are
exchanged from one IP to other IP. The route between
these 2 IP can be selected by router already placed.
why we need to implement TRIP??

    I will be highly obliged if somebody clears my
doubt.

Thanks & Best Regards
Vipin

I apologize if I am reopening something that has already been beat to death...

Why is space prohibited as a visual-separator in telephone numbers?  Yes, it has to be escaped, which can be ugly, but the end-user may not see that escaping.  End users may be dealing with User Interfaces rather than raw URIs and so enhanced readability of the URI is NOT the issue; enhanced readability at the UI level is.  Why not allow space as a visual-separator so that such information can be preserved?

A sentence in 6.1.2 discouraging use of space (due to the ugliness of escaping) as a visual separator seems more appropriate than prohibition.

On the other hand, I understand that allowing escaped spaces as visual separators might break existing implementations, which could be more costly than any benefit to be gained at this point in time by allowing them.

Routing occurs at many layers. TRIP is concerned about exchange of 
application layer routing information for VOIP signaling between service 
provider domains.

You should read http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2871.txt.

You just answered your own question. This is a UI level thing.
Why put this in the signalling? Personally, I don't care one
way or the other whether visual separators are allowed. It is
extremely trivial to write code for either case. I can't believe
this topic has generated so much discussion.

Hi, Vipin:

You are right that TRIP does not help for SIP-H.323 IWF interworking the way TRIP has been standardized now. TRIP just addresses for routing of the E.164/Decimel/PentaDecimel numbers for inter-ITAD (or inter-Domain) communications only. That is, communications are made among the location servers of different administrative Telephony domains. It does not deal with the GWs as well. It even does not address the propagation of capacity, QOS, and other attributes. It has a very limited use.

However, IPTEL is now defining the GW registration protocol within a given ITAD (intra-ITAD or intra-Domain) where a GW can register all its attributes like address families, capacity, QOS, and others to a location server(that is, the problems of propagation of routes, capacity, QOS, and/or other attributes among the location servers are decoupled).

For inter-Domain TRIP, a location server will get its necessary attributes (e.g., E.164/Decimel/PentaDecimel numbers) once the GWs register with it while the other attributes (e.g., capacity, QOS, etc.) will NOT be used for inter-Domain (or inter-ITAD) communications.

For intra-Domain communications among the location servers and GWs (SIP-ISUP Tel GW, SIP-H.323 Tel GW), a complete proposal has been made how all the attributes (e.g., address families [E.164/Decimel/PentaDecimel, email IDs, URL IDs, etc], capacity, QOS, etc.) can be used. You can see the proposal in the following URL: (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-roy-iptel-itrp-00.txt). With this, you can also use SIP-H.323 GWs for IP-IP communications.

More discussions will be held along this line because we are only developing the GW registration protocol as a first step.

Best regards,

Hi Everybody

    I am not very much clear about the application of
TRIP,as in case of H323 and and SIP messages are
exchanged from one IP to other IP. The route between
these 2 IP can be selected by router already placed.
why we need to implement TRIP??

    I will be highly obliged if somebody clears my
doubt.

Thanks & Best Regards
Vipin

Radhika, little benefit is gained by using this question to field an 
unrelated barrange of attacks against TRIP. It serves only to confuse 
the person who asked the question and distract the group. Your posts are 
very much becoming disruptive and purposefully counter productive.

TRIP does not address capacity, Qos, and other attribute propagation 
inter-domain for GOOD REASON.

I have said it several times, and I will say it once more. This draft is 
out of scope. The group is not considering intra-domain communications.

That may be true, and it's probably something we shouldn't lose sight of -
however, we have made a clear choice of scope to focus on the gateway
registration problem rather than the intradomain route propagation problem,
for the moment. I think (Jonathan can correct me if I'm out of line) the
prevailing philosophy of the WG is that we consider gw reg as its own
problem, and if it turns out that the result has applicability to, say,
intradomain route propagation, that's fine, but intradomain route
propagation can't be a source of requirements for the gw reg problem.

I don't think route propagation is based on a 'different concept' - I think
we need to reconcile gateway registration to the realities of network
architecture. That's been the overriding thread of my many mails on gateway
registration and trunk groups.

Totally. I'm with you there. The construction of that route list will be
performed within the proxy server that is provisioned by the gateway
registration process. Thanks to all of the timely information it has learned
from gw reg, the proxy server will construct a list that will be more likely
to result in the prompt termination of the call than it would if it had no
gw reg data. It will make this decision by inspecting the signaling for call
setup (including the dialed number, a CIC if available, and so forth), and
comparing these criteria with the attributes it has learned from the gw reg
process, which tell the PS what possible terminations are available.

The concepts of 'available' and 'preferred' in and of themselves, of course,
do not represent the required routing logic. They are just data that are
taken into account by the routing logic in a proxy server in order to
construct a route list for a particular call.

Incidentally, I'm not married to the terms 'preferred' and 'available'. I
brought them up to give a sense of the role they might play in the
construction of route lists. Probably better terms would be 'directly' and
'indirectly' available, where a CIC is 'directly' available through a trunk
group iff the administrative domain of the switch on the other side of the
trunk group is the administrative domain responsible for that CIC.

This is good - I think this is where our disconnect is. The problem I'm
trying to solve is 'how does a proxy server construct an ordered route list
for a particular call based on the information it receives from gateway
registrations?". When you talk about how CICs are routed, you seem to assume
that this route list has been provisioned by some other means, or that the
information propagated by gw reg literally is the route list.

Here's how I think it should work: The information that is propagated by the
gateway registration protocol is a set of potential routes, just a set of
TGs and some of the attributes of these trunk groups. These because actual
routes for a specific call later, when a proxy server makes a routing
decision.

Consider a simplified example. A proxy server (PS) receives gateway
registrations for three trunk groups, TG1, TG2 and TG3. For TG1, CIC 0288 is
"preferred" and all other CICs are "available". For TG2, only CIC 5062 is
"preferred". For TG3, all CICs are "available". These are the potential
routes.

Now imagine that a call comes to the PS, and the PS is required to make a
routing decision - to construct the actual route list. We'll say that the
call is for CIC 0288. The PS constructs, on the basis of the gateway
registrations it has received, an ordered route list of: TG1, TG3. Why? TG1
is first because it is the only available trunk group that is "preferred"
for the CIC associated with the call. TG2 is ineligible because 0288 is not
available through TG2. TG3 is "available" for 0288 (as it is for all CICs),
so it ends up on the route list as a less preferred option than TG1.

With the route list for the call in mind, the PS routes forwards the call to
the GW responsible for TG1. If the call doesn't succeed there for some
avoidable reason, the PS will subsequently forward the call to the GW
responsible for TG3.

As a bit of back-story, how do the owners of the GWs decide on the
"preferred" and "available" settings for their TGs with respect to
particular CICs? Well, when the owner of the gateway on which TG1 is located
turned up TG1, he provisioned the GW with a set of information about TG1.
Maybe he learned this information directly from the carrier whose switch
terminates the other end of TG1 - maybe he looked some of it up in the LERG
- in any event he learns this information administratively. One such piece
of information is that the carrier on the other side of TG1 (to which TG1 is
"directly" connected) is addressed by CIC 0288. He also knows that this
carrier is an IXC, and that all CICs are therefore "indirectly" available
through this carrier.

Finally, note that when a call arrives at the PS, it has many routable
attributes other than a CIC. Calls also, for example, have a dialed number.
The route selection algorithm in the PS, however, decided that it should
look at the CIC before the dialed number, and use the CIC to figure out how
to route the call, and that it should prefer "directly" available routes to
"indirectly" available routes, and so on. This route selection algorithm, in
my opinion, should if possible be independent of the gateway registration
protocol - that is to say, the gw reg protocol should just provide the data
and let the PS worry about how that data will be used to route calls.

> The difficulty with indicating

Agreed, it can't. All it does, as my example above should show, is give the
PS some data that is used by the route selection algorithm. This is critical
because I don't think gateway registration should control the route
selection algorithm itself - for example, by somehow providing an ordered
list of TGs to the PS that will apply to some set of calls. Multiple
gateways will be sending routes for various trunk groups to the PS in a gw
reg message. Presumably, these gateways do not know about one another. The
PS receives routes from these various gateways, and for a particular call
the PS should be allowed to add TGs located on various GWs to the route list
- therefore no GW should be dictating route lists to the PS. 

But with a few simple principles (prefer directly available routes to
indirectly available routes, etc) for a route selection algorithm, the PS
can make a good route list based on the data it receives. This is, in my
opinion, the whole purpose of gateway registration.

I think you're on the right track, Jon.  There are basically two
possibilities: that registration provides the data from which route lists
can be constructed, as you suggest, or that proxies contain pre-defined
route lists and registration data is used to verify the validity of
individual entries within these lists.  I agree with your argument that,
because route lists will typically span multiple gateways, the registration
data do not consist of route lists in themselves.

If we accept your view, the aim of the exercise is to acquire registration
data which support the construction of "good" route lists according to some
criterion.  What your examples illustrate for that criterion is a very rough
topological distance measure: "direct" vs. "indirect" (assuming these are
exactly what you meant by "preferred" vs. "alternate").  The "points" in
this topology are individual service providers' networks.  The questions
raised if we follow this line are whether other measures of "goodness" have
to be supported by the registration data and if so, which ones.

Speaking of topology, at some point we may have to worry about loop
prevention.  One assumes that loops won't happen provided that a call passed
to the switched domain stays there, but we can't count on that.  This is
probably a call signalling issue -- I'll try to see that it is addressed in
the SIP-ISUP work being done in Study Group 11.

Just pursuing the second alternative I mentioned in my opening paragraph for
a moment: there is the possibility of a statically administered set of route
lists within proxies.  The role of gateway registration would then be to
give a dynamic view of gateway and trunk group status, to make routing more
effective within the preprovisioned framework.  Given what I see as the
slowly-varying nature of the switched network topology as I used the term
above, preprovisioned routes could be "better" than those created
dynamically, promote more stable network operation, yet gateway registration
would provide an essential element of adaptiveness.  I describe this
alternative for logical completeness, but I expect it is a less-preferred
method of operation.

We can probably design gateway registration to support either method of
operation.  However, the detailed information requirements and possibly the
required reporting frequency may be different between them.

The route selection algorithm in the PS, however, decided that it should
look at the CIC before the dialed number, and use the CIC to figure out how
to route the call, and that it should prefer "directly" available routes to
"indirectly" available routes, and so on. This route selection algorithm, in
my opinion, should if possible be independent of the gateway registration
protocol - that is to say, the gw reg protocol should just provide the data
and let the PS worry about how that data will be used to route calls.

Agreed, it can't. All it does, as my example above should show, is give the
PS some data that is used by the route selection algorithm. This is critical
because I don't think gateway registration should control the route
selection algorithm itself - for example, by somehow providing an ordered
list of TGs to the PS that will apply to some set of calls. Multiple
gateways will be sending routes for various trunk groups to the PS in a gw
reg message. Presumably, these gateways do not know about one another. The
PS receives routes from these various gateways, and for a particular call
the PS should be allowed to add TGs located on various GWs to the route list
- therefore no GW should be dictating route lists to the PS. 

But with a few simple principles (prefer directly available routes to
indirectly available routes, etc) for a route selection algorithm, the PS
can make a good route list based on the data it receives. This is, in my
opinion, the whole purpose of gateway registration.

That may be true, and it's probably something we shouldn't lose sight of -
however, we have made a clear choice of scope to focus on the gateway
registration problem rather than the intradomain route propagation problem,
for the moment. 

[RRR] I would rather agree with this because I have made a contribution for the complete protocol set ((http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-roy-iptel-itrp-00.txt)) for intra-Domain because the intra-Domain requires the following: 1. GW <-> LS communications and 2. LS <-> LS communications.

[RRR] For the sake of making progress, I would rather propose, as Jon pointed out, let us start item 1 first (GW <-> LS) where registration and discovery are the most important features. The reason is that, in an intra-Domain, many GWs and one location server may a good start for a small network. In some cases, a single location server may be good enough among multiple SIP proxies (assuming proprietary protocol is used between the SIP proxies and the LS when they are not colocated).

[RRR] However, we also need to address the item 2 sooner or later (and the above draft is a good start) because a large network will have multiple location servers.

I think (Jonathan can correct me if I'm out of line) the
prevailing philosophy of the WG is that we consider gw reg as its own
problem, and if it turns out that the result has applicability to, say,
intradomain route propagation, that's fine, but intradomain route
propagation can't be a source of requirements for the gw reg problem.

[RRR] A good test will be to look into the draft as referred above. But you are right that we need to address the intra-Domain communications at some point of time. In the meantime, I have sent a draft proposing the "Framework on Intra-Domain Communications Protocol." While we are developing the GW registration protocol, we can also keep our eyes open how the complete picture will look like when think about the "Intra-Domain" protocol.

Radhika, little benefit is gained by using this question to field an 
unrelated barrange of attacks against TRIP. It serves only to confuse 
the person who asked the question and distract the group. Your posts are 
very much becoming disruptive and purposefully counter productive.

[RRR] This is what people like to know about TRIP from technical point of view (its weaknesses and strengths - modeled in the light of BGP). It is rather technical clarifications.

TRIP does not address capacity, Qos, and other attribute propagation 
inter-domain for GOOD REASON.

[RRR] This is the point that people like to know. It is rather technical clarifications (because some people think that something that is not used by TRIP is also NOT good for the GW registration protocol or otherwise).

I have said it several times, and I will say it once more. This draft is 
out of scope. The group is not considering intra-domain communications.

[RRR] The above draft has been referred to answer the questions of Vipin. If something is not a WG charter item now, it may be considered later. (If it takes too much time to make it is a WG charter, it can be considered for the informational RFC if we think to do so).

[RRR] This draft has sent to see what comes out of the technical discussion. We have to see how the technical discussion on GW registration protocol goes on. This draft has many things and the GW registration and discovery are also a part of it in the context of the intra-Domain protocol. We have seen most of the technical discussion that is going on related to the GW registration protocol has been influenced by this draft. For example, all types of GWs will have the common attributes like address families, capacity, QOS, and others that can be registered with the location server.

[RRR] Please also see another email sent in response to Jon Peterson's questions. This will also clarify more how the above draft is contributing to advance the goals of the IPTEL WG.

-Jonathan R.

Tom, Jon,

I concur with your line of thought, although I think the terms "direct" and 
"indirect" are more descriptive and useful.  Will these characteristics be 
propagated as attributes when advertising that a TG can reach a specific 
carrier?

Hi, All:

It appears that we have spent a good amount of time on this particular issue what are the items to be included in the trunk group. Thanks to all that we agreeing more and more in this area. Let us now turn our attention to some basic issues as follows:

1. What is the definition of (monolithic or decomposed) GWs? Are these GWs not doing the protocol conversion (e.g., SIP-ISUP, SIP-H.323, etc)? If it is so, it seems to be that the GW registration protocol that we are proposing will be used to facilitate the routing of the calls of SIP to ISUP/H.323 and vice versa.

2. The attributes that a GW will register with the location server must be abstracted in such a way that can be used in the signaling protocols (SIP, ISUP, H.323) in a meaningful way otherwise these [attributes] will be useless. Because the intra-Domain (as well as inter-Domain like TRIP) protocol is used in the "backend" of SIP Proxies to complete the calls (e.g., SIP-ISUP, SIP-H.323) and is NOT an end-to-end protocol.

3. If there is only one location server in an ITAD, we do not need to worry about the communications among the location  servers. In this situation, we can develop the GW registration protocol very easily without worrying too much what needs to be propagated.

4. If we develop the protocol for communications among the location servers, as it appears, that some people are too much concerned what can be propagated or not. The GW attributes that we are considering can be address families, capacity, QOS, and/or others. We need to consider that we are focusing ONLY on the intra-Domain communications where only one IP Telephony administrator is responsible. Since we are NOT considering the inter-Domain communications like TRIP, we may not need to be overly concerned. That is, we can sort out our problems case by case basis because we will, unlike TRIP, be transferring all the attributes among the LSs within an ITAD.

5. If we consider item 4, it appears that we have to develop the complete intra-Domain protocol. Can we include this as a IPTEL WG item? If not, why not?

6. If we do not include item 4, we are left with a situation where we can assume that there is only ONE location server in an ITAD (as I explained in my earlier emails). How does it help to achieve the real objectives of the IPTEL WG (our proposed I-D shows that we only need one [or at best two] messages beyond the GW registration/discovery protocol)?

Let us discuss the above points providing pros and cons from technical point of view.

Best regards,

Radhika R. Roy

Tom, Jon,

I concur with your line of thought, although I think the terms "direct" and 
"indirect" are more descriptive and useful.  Will these characteristics be 
propagated as attributes when advertising that a TG can reach a specific 
carrier?

Hi Everybody,

    I am very much thankful to you to help me in
understanding the registration mechanism betwen
location server and gateway nad between LS to LS.

I am reading the draft suggested by Radhika. Actually
I am working in a Telecom company and we have a
gateway solution which is a capable of interworking
between SIP,POTS,H.323,SS7,R1 signalling.

We also have implemented RAS protocol in H323 to
register GW, and also have SIP register mechanism.
Now we want to develop a full fledged Location Server,
which can help in inter ITAD communication and also
Intra ID communication, along with a comprehensive
registration mechanism from GW to LS. 
Actually we want to avoid two registration mechanism
for SIP and H323 and want to have a common solution
for any protocol.

Previously I was thinking to implement only TRIP, but
after the suggestion of ITRP, I found ITRP will also
help in long term. 

Do I need to implement both ITRP( for GW to LS) and 
TRIP ( for LS to LS )???

Please suggest me How should I proceed.

Thanks for your suggestion and help.

Best Regards
Vipin

I understand that the idea is to construct the route list from the 
information derived during the GW registration process. The problem is 
describing the process, considering that the GW registration process only 
provides a small part of what is needed to construct a route list. Sometimes 
it is no more than a hint.

This simple case is obvious to the PS, since it got one "preferred" and one 
"available" choice for CIC=0288. (Actually, this isn't even obvious, since 
the determination of "preferred" and "available" was made by the GW, but the 
PS may have a legitimate reason to reverse the selection order based on other 
information it has, like the GW that said "available" is next door and the 
one that claimed "preferred" is on the other side of the world.)

The difficult case is when the PS receives multiple "preferred" choices. In a 
particular network situation, each GW may be owned by a different company who 
makes their money by getting traffic to go through their GW. They would 
specifiy everything that they could possibly handle as "preferred" and never 
as just "available".

The difficult case is when the PS receives multiple "preferred" choices. In a 
particular network situation, each GW may be owned by a different company who 
makes their money by getting traffic to go through their GW. They would 
specifiy everything that they could possibly handle as "preferred" and never 
as just "available".

[RRR] In intra-domain, it is assumed that all GWs will be administered by a single IP Telephony service provider. In this situation, the logic of "preferred" and "available" is expected to be maintained in accordance to the policy of the given service provider.

That is why it may be better to separate the policy decision (which is 
preferred) from the basic facts.  The use of terms "direct" and "indirect" 
meaning that a switch of that carrier is one hop from the gateway doing the 
advertising is factual and unambiguous.

Hi, Mike:

You are right and I agree with you (because it is better NOT to standardize "subjective" terms related to policy per se).

Thanks for your clarifications.

Best regards,

I agree, policy decisions (or opinions) should not be included in signaling, 
except the problem remains that policy decisions (of the carrier) can still 
effect routing. Due to many factors, a carrier may desire to use the 
"indirect" route as the first choice. After all, the "direct" choice could be 
a GW with a path to a carrier's access point on the other side of the world, 
and the "indirect" one goes to a GW which then needs to go through another 
switch sitting in the same building in order to get to the carrier's access 
point which is also in the same building. Something needs to control the 
choice of routing based on more than just a "direct" or "indirect" attribute.

There is a new draft for the TRIP-MIB at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-iptel-trip-mib-01.txt

Among the changes, this draft incorporates the excellent 
suggestions from Kevin Lingle, Hussein Salama, and Bob Penfield.

Changes from <draft-ietf-iptel-trip-mib-00.txt>

   o Changed tripSupportedProtocols and tripAddressFamilies from
     OBJECT IDENTIFIER to OBJECT-IDENTITY.
   o Added tripRouteTRIBMask with syntax BITS to identify the type of
     TRIB the route belongs to.
   o Removed tripMinItadOriginationInterval and
     tripMinRouteAdvertisementInterval from the tripCfgTable because
     they also exist in the Peer table.
   o TripPeerRemoteItad made read-only because either the local
     application will determine the value.
   o Add tripRouteTypeTable as a sub-table to tripCfgTable (similar to
     tripPeerRouteTypeTable).
   o Add timestamp to route table (when received), and last change
     of peer state.
   o Removed tripRouteBest since the best would be represented by
     LocTRIB or AdjTRIBOut

Thanks to David for doing a great job here.

I think this closes the open issues, and that this document is now ready 
for delivery to the IESG for consideration as proposed. I will do that 
on Monday, to give people a few days or so to make sure they are 
satisfied with the draft.

Thanks,
Jonathan R.

Folks,

As you can see, TRIP has finally been published as RFC 3219!

Thanks to Hussein for a great final review of the doc for typos and 
other nits before publication.

We do not use them currently in tel URLs, but we DO have VoIP products that
use them and could need them in tel URLs in the future.  I have not been
personally involved with them but as I understand it, in some regions (e.g.,
Japan) they are used to address multiple devices on a single BRI line in a
home or office.  In such an environment, they would be needed to allow
addressing only the desired device (e.g., voice phone and avoid getting fax
machine).  Our VoIP products can currently be configured to  accept PSTN
calls only if the correct subaddress is set, but do not currently place IP
calls specifying a subaddress but may want to in the future.

Why do we want to remove the feature?

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Telephony Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Management Information Base for Telephony Routing over
                          IP (TRIP)
	Author(s)	: J. Jiang, D. Walker, D. Zinman
	Filename	: draft-ietf-iptel-trip-mib-01.txt
	Pages		: 42
	Date		: 16-Jan-02
	
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes a set of managed objects that are used
to manage for Telephony Routing over IP (TRIP) [2] devices.
Since TRIP [2] is modelled after the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4)
[3], the managed objects for TRIP are also modelled after RFC1657 -
Definitions of Managed Objects for the Fourth Version of the Border
Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) using SMIv2 [4].

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-iptel-trip-mib-01.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

        I-D Tag:    draft-ietf-iptel-trip-09.txt

        URL:        ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3219.txt


This document presents the Telephony Routing over IP (TRIP).  TRIP is
a policy driven inter-administrative domain protocol for advertising
the reachability of telephony destinations between location servers,
and for advertising attributes of the routes to those destinations.
TRIP's operation is independent of any signaling protocol, hence TRIP
can serve as the telephony routing protocol for any signaling
protocol.

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) is used to distribute routing
information between administrative domains.  TRIP is used to
distribute telephony routing information between telephony
administrative domains.  The similarity between the two protocols is
obvious, and hence TRIP is modeled after BGP-4.

This document is a product of the IP Telephony Working Group of the
IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG.  Requests to be
added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.

Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending
an EMAIL message to rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG with the message body 
help: ways_to_get_rfcs.  For example:

        To: rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG
        Subject: getting rfcs

        help: ways_to_get_rfcs

Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to RFC-Manager@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.  Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.echo 
Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Telephony Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: CPL: A Language for User Control of Internet Telephony
                          Services
	Author(s)	: J. Lennox, H. Schulzrinne
	Filename	: draft-ietf-iptel-cpl-06.txt,.ps
	Pages		: 69
	Date		: 16-Jan-02
	
The Call Processing Language (CPL) is a language that can be used to
describe and control Internet telephony services. It is designed to
be implementable on either network servers or user agent servers. It
is meant to be simple, extensible, easily edited by graphical
clients, and independent of operating system or signalling protocol.
It is suitable for running on a server where users may not be allowed
to execute arbitrary programs, as it has no variables, loops, or
ability to run external programs.
This document is a product of the IP Telephony (IPTEL) working group
of the Internet Engineering Task Force. Comments are solicited and
should be addressed to the working group's mailing list at
iptel@lists.research.bell-labs.com and/or the authors.

some months back i offered david zinman comments on the draft trip mib.
(see posting to this list on 8/31/2001 w/ subject containing
draft-ietf-trip-mib-00.txt)

i stopped short then of completing my review - left off at the
tripRouteTable.
here i'll pick up again from that point using
draft-zinman-trip-mib-02.txt.


general comment for the entire mib...
more REFERENCE clauses for "trip things" would be good.
now w/ RFC 3219 officially out, you'll have a good reference
to quote.

> -- all routes from all sources. Each entry consists

as i've said before, indexing schemes like you have here
are going to be cumbersome and difficult to understand.

do app protocol and address families textual conventions really 
need to be defined as object identifiers?  what's wrong with 
simple enumerated integers?

description sounds like this is specifying the protocol foe
the entire table.  it's just for this one entry.

what is this an address of?  that's what should be the main focus
of the description.  a sidebar (and important) is the family type.

the family type relationship should be stated in terms of the other
object:  "... This address is interpreted based on the value of
          the tripRouteAddressFamily object in this entry."

consider draft-ietf-ops-rfc2851-update-06.txt InetPortNumber
(presuming this is a transport level port number).

any special meaning for the value 0?

would it be better to borrow from RFC 3219 "5.4.1. AdvertisementPath
Syntax"
when defining the syntax of this object.

same comment as for tripRouteAdvertisementPath concerning alternative
syntax.

not really a comment for this object but a larger question...
this object is reflecting what is learned wrt a particular route, but
is there some provision for configuring how this gets setup at the
remote device that is originating the route information?  not sure if
that makes sense or not.

any counter somewhere to count such "not understood" events?

i presume this reference should change to RFC 3219 now.

tripOriginatorIdentifier is references several times in the mib,
but there is no object w/ that descriptor.  what are you referring

why do you need this table?  can't this tripItadTopologyId be another
columnar object in tripItadTopologyTable?   the id object is identified
exactly the same way the seq number object from the other table is.
any reason they can't co-exist in the same table??

rather than numbers above, the usual convention is to use the enum
labels...
  messageHeader - All errors detected while processing the TRIP message
header.
  openMessage   - All errors detected while processing the OPEN message.

if there could ever be more than 7 sub error codes defined, then
don't restrict the range of values for this object.  the SMI won't
allow a range to be expanded in the future, so you'd end up having
to deprecate the object and any notifs using it if new sub error codes
were to come along.
