4 Introduction
It is necessary to understand the fundamental differences between ENUM in e164.arpa and Infrastructure ENUM as discussed in the present document. 4.1 ENUM in e164.arpa RFC 3761 [16] together with RFC 3403 [20] defines the ENUM protocol and the NAPTR records. RFC 3761 [16] discusses the use of the Domain Name System (DN...

4.2 Infrastructure ENUM
Infrastructure ENUM is basically about publishing the information which E.164 numbers a CSP is hosting to either a group of selected peers or to all other CSPs. The present document looks at the application of the concepts in ENUM for the different purpose of provision of information for routeing (both internally and b...

4.4 Choice of an domain apex for Infrastructure ENUM
An additional document will cover the requirements to make Infrastructure ENUM work, operational and policy aspects and issues around the choice of the apex. However, at this stage it is recognized that an additional apex to that used for ENUM (e164.arpa) will be required. If such an approach is not adopted, a CSPs abi...

5 Types of Infrastructure ENUM
In the following clause the different types of Infrastructure ENUM are explained in more detail.
f54eba9c421ff7559e93b5a90cede10c
102 055
5.1 CSP-internal Infrastructure ENUM
CSP-internal Infrastructure ENUM uses DNS data existing and accessible only within the CSPs environment (Intranet). CSP-internal Infrastructure ENUM is intended to be used by a given CSP to reach the border elements within his Intranet to other CSPs, the gateways within his Intranet providing Point-of-Interconnect to d...

102 055
5.2 CSP-shared Infrastructure ENUM
CSP-shared Infrastructure ENUM uses DNS data accessible at least by all CSP participating in the system. It is a policy decision whether the data for the Infrastructure ENUM system is in the public DNS and if it is accessible by the public (see below). CSP-shared Infrastructure ENUM is intended to be used by Communicat...
f54eba9c421ff7559e93b5a90cede10c
102 055
5.3 Global (or Common) Infrastructure ENUM
If all CSPs using Infrastructure ENUM would agree to share ONE common Infrastructure ENUM system containing all E.164 numbers hosted by the participating CSPs, this system would be able to provide potentially global and common connectivity between all CSPs. Additional Infrastructure ENUM systems would not be necessary....

102 055
6 Authentication aspects
Unlike User ENUM, all the participants in an Infrastructure ENUM environment are considered to be trusted parties, so it may not be necessary to implement any authentication (validation) process when a communications provider wishes to populate a given number or number range. This is particularly the case where the gro...
f54eba9c421ff7559e93b5a90cede10c
102 055
7 Architectural options
A number of architectures can be adopted by a group of communications providers for infrastructure ENUM. No single approach will be optimal in all cases. The most appropriate architecture should be selected according to the particular circumstances. It should be noted that the different models could be mixed in one gro...

8 A possible evolution path
The following steps are likely to occur if a natural progression towards a global implementation of Infrastructure ENUM takes place although any step can be implemented at any time as a stand alone scenario. Step 0: Current Situation on the PSTN • Communication Service Providers (CSP) on the PSTN using TDM technology a...

9.1 Private Infrastructure ENUM only (Step 2)
A CSP is using Private Infrastructure ENUM only within his own network (Intranet). There are only connections to the PSTN via IP-Gateways. Infrastructure ENUM is used to find end-users in the own network (Intranet) and the proper gateway for calls routed to the PSTN. All E.164 numbers not assigned to end-users are rout...

4.1 Background
Virtually all-terminal equipment intended for connection to an analogue interface of the PSTN is designed to communicate using the voice band (typically 300 Hz to 3 400 Hz). Such equipment, whether a telephone, modem, fax etc. is generally regarded as POTS equipment. The harmonized technical attachment requirements for...

4.2 DSL system types
In the present document, DSL systems are divided into two main categories. One category requires the use of a splitter device connected at or replacing the existing NTP in order to separate out the POTS and SDL services. The POTS services may continue to use the existing customer wiring/installation. It is not practica...

5 Technical issues
The harmonized technical attachment requirements for POTS equipment defined in TBR 21 [1] and EN 301 437 [16] were agreed after consideration of POTS services only. Resulting from this restriction, a number of potential undesirable interactions may occur when POTS and DSL services are deployed on the same local loop.

5.1.1 Out-of-band signals
There are two distinct issues here. The first issue is that if DSL terminals are required to meet the requirements of TBR 21 [1], then DSLlite terminals would fail the specified out of band limits of subclause 4.7.3.4. It needs to be made clear (by whom?) that TBR 21 [1] does not apply to DSL terminals. The second issu...

5.1.1.1 Directly connected "ordinary" POTS
This scenario, as shown in figure 1a is the most common scenario at present and applies to most situations where xDSL services have yet to be introduced. Terminals can be expected to comply with the out-of-band requirements of TBR 21 [1] for frequencies up to 200 kHz. As TBR 21 [1] does not specify requirements for out...

5.1.1.2 Directly connected "DSL friendly" POTS
In this scenario, shown in figure 1b, the POTS terminals of user 2 contain additional filtering at frequencies above 200 kHz to ensure satisfactory performance on local access loops supporting both POTS and xDSL services such as that of user 1. Although most likely to be used for "splitterless" applications e.g. G.Lite...

5.1.1.3 "Ordinary" POTS connected via filters
This scenario, as shown in figure 1c is representative of DSLlite application, and uses "ordinary" POTS TE together with purpose designed filters to achieve the required out of band performance to coexist with xDSL systems. These low pass type filters are physically small and are provided with the appropriate connector...

5.1.2 Out-of-band impedance
The impedance requirements for POTS equipment defined in TBR 21 [1] and EN 301 437 [16] have two major impacts on the coexistence with DSL systems. Firstly the impedance presented by the POTS TE to the loop is only defined for the on-line state, and secondly, the on-line impedance is only defined for the voice band. Th...

5.1.3 Remote line testing
It is common practice for network operators to carry out regular tests on their subscriber lines as part of their Quality of Service commitment. Specific components may be incorporated into the NTP or into the splitter to assist with line testing. Test components incorporated into the existing NTPs vary widely between ...

5.1.4 Effect of POTS signals on DSL systems
Apart from the unwanted out-of-band signals discussed in subclause 5.1.1 there are a number of other types of signal commonly present in traditional POTS systems, which have the capability to disturb operation of DSL systems. Although these signals are outside the nominal DSL frequency bands, the magnitude of the signa...
