[SIPForum-discussion] ATIS and SIP Forum NNI Task Force Draft Documents Now Available for Comment

[Marc Robins]

Dear SIP Forum Members:

 

The IP-Network to Network Interface (NNI) Joint Task Force
<http://www.sipforum.org/content/view/421/171/> , a cooperative effort
between the ATIS and the SIP Forum, is seeking public comment on two draft
documents:

 

1.      IP Interconnection Profile.  The IP-NNI Profile Specification
defines a reference architecture and specifications for both the protocol
and media as it appears "on-the-wire" at interconnect points.  The
specifications reference commonly used IETF, 3GPP, and other related
industry specifications and identify protocol extensions and capability
information needed for all-IP telephony peering.

 

2.      IP Interconnection Routing Report.  The IP-NNI Routing Technical
Report documents mechanisms for identifying the preferred IP interconnection
point for a given TN. This report presents multiple views of current IP
interconnection mechanisms based on aggregate PSTN constructs, interim
solutions based on all-IP routing using a per-TN registry, and a
consideration of hybrid approaches across both mechanisms during the
transition to all-IP.  

 

The Task Force has agreed to make a snapshot of the documents available to
the larger carrier and SIP community to invite informed technical comments.
These are still a "work in progress".

 

For those of you in the United States, this work has taken on a larger
significance since it has the attention of the United States Federal
Communications Commission and was called out in a recent speech by
Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler:
