[asterisk-users] e164.org dead ?
Hello, Does the ENUM service e164.org died? All queries that I do lead to "NXDOMAIN". I feel that the base has simply been empty for several months. Maybe some old addresses are still resolved, but the newer ones are not. The website still works, but it seems that everyone has left the plane, leaving the autopilot mode. Of course, no one responds to support emails. Have you experienced similar problems? Anyone has information from within?

[asterisk-users] e164.org and tollfree ENUM records
Recently, I've been having issues with the URIs returned from e.164.org and
toll free calls. It seems that the URIs that are returned from ENUMQUERY and
ENUMRESULT are no longer the proper numbering schemes that the poviders use.
I've been using the following [enum] template in my outbound route for quite
some time with great success until recently.
[enum](!)
exten = _X.,n,Set(ARRAY(i,id)=1,${ENUMQUERY(+${EXTEN},ALL,e164.org)})
exten = _X.,n,Set(max=${ENUMRESULT(${id},getnum)})
exten = _X.,n,While($[${i} = ${max}])
exten = _X.,n,Set(uri=${ENUMRESULT(${id},${i})})
exten = _X.,n,Exec(${IF($[${uri:0:3} =
sip]?Dial(SIP/${uri:4},40,KL(720:12)T):NoOp(ENUM URI is not of type
SIP))})
exten = _X.,n,Exec(${IF($[${uri:0:4} =
iax2]?Dial(IAX2/${uri:5},40,KL(720:12)T):NoOp(ENUM URI is not of
type IAX2))})
exten = _X.,n,Set(i=${MATH(${i}+1,i)})
exten = _X.,n,EndWhile()
The console results are as follows. Each of sip-happens, siptollfreegateway,
and voipmich return either a 404 or 403 error.
I'm wondering if their ENUM records are old and no longer represent how
callers should reach their servers.

[Asterisk-Users] e164.org update
Long time coming, but we finally have a 3rd party interface on the website to add block of enum numbers in regex form... eg +4412345[678] which will match +44123456 +44123457 +44123458 also +4412345[16-18] which will match +441234516 +441234517 +441234518 or just short prefixes +4412345 so anything starting with +4412345 will match... Currently this is accessible via web interface only, but if anyone knows of any existing CSV, XML, SOAP etc interfaces that allow a similar update mechanism to other services you already use to update large numbers of routes, let us know and we will be able to quickly get something in place now that the base code exists. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.cacert.org - Free Security Certificates http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://happysnapper.com.au - Sell your photos over the net! http://e164.org - Using Enum.164 to interconnect asterisk servers I do not try to dance better than anyone else.

[Asterisk-Users] E164.org Updates
Firstly we've setup a SIP proxy that uses e164.org to do enum lookups, also rather then issuing people with yet more numbers they have to remember we've coded up a watered down version of e164.org for people that would just like to have a single SIP phone rather then run their own PABX. http://www.Like2Fone.Com for more details on that service. The plan is to get people hooked on VoIP so they will setup Asterisk at a later date and make the most out of an enum lookup service. We've also started to import blocks of numbers into e164.org and allow people to manage the blocks themselves via the web interface. Currently we're not issuing NS records at this stage as it limits smaller and single number blocks and we end up with the situation the ITU has where carriers don't want to proceed so they don't sub-allocate DNS. Long term we're thinking of doing this in a secondary zone and allowing people to order which preference they prefer or only allocating NS records on small blocks of number ranges. So if you have a large chunk of number space and are happy to advertise it over the net in DNS, email me the range and the associated VoIP URL off list. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.cacert.org - Free Security Certificates http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://happysnapper.com.au - Sell your photos over the net! http://e164.org - Using Enum.164 to interconnect asterisk servers ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I guess I'm missing the point somewhere. The point is as simple or as complex as you like it to be. You can configure things to have only a single voip URL reference, then anyone that dials your pstn numbers will be directed to that voip server, or in the case of businesses that want to list every method that they can be contacted by such as email, instant messaging they can, and at some stage in the future if fax machines get smart enough and their is an enum record on the number you're faxing they could email the fax instead of faxing it. The way I understand it is you pass it a phone number and it gives you a prefferred route to that number, which may be VOIP and may be POTS or from the looks of it MSN and lots of other things (including ldap???!!). LDAP records are actually listed in the RFC and given as an example. You then pass that result straight into a Dial command, which means it could potentially do absolutely anything, including call the chinese speaking clock at peak rate. If there is an IAX2 or SIP or H323 NAPTR record in DNS, this increments the dial plan by +1, if it's a TEL (i.e. the talking clock in china) it increments by +51, and increments by +101 if it fails, so unless you tell it to dial the number at +51 it won't use any TEL fields from DNS so this can't happen unless you specificly allow it to. Flip side is we're trying to do an app_dialenum to actually better implement enum lookups and dialling, if it hits a tel field the plan is to get it to read out the number and prompt the user to press 1 to skip and try another record or fail to pstn, or press 2 to use the tel number. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.cacert.org - Free Security Certificates http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://happysnapper.com.au - Sell your photos over the net! http://e164.org - Using Enum.164 to interconnect asterisk servers ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Now the proper domain for enum is e164.arpa - and the respective assignments by the ITU of telephone delegations under e164.arpa has been at best very lame.

You can get information on enum assignments and registries at: http://www.ripe.net/enum/request-archives/ At you can see there are very few official enum registries - so I think what e164.org is doing in invaluable to the community. regards joe baptista ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] e164.org
So I just saw this VoIP-centric article at slashdot (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/22/1840220) which mentions e164.org. It's a non-profit public DNS root designed to map phone numbers to Internet protocols. Is anyone on this list actually using this? They have asterisk config instructions: http://www.e164.org/config.php I wonder if someone can help me understand this. Let's say I configure my asterisk box to use e164 and then I try to call a phone number in Germany. I'm in the U.S.A. So if the number I'm calling in Germany is registered in e164's dns, would my call be routed directly via their voip provider? Or directly to their asterisk box? And would it be free? If that's the case, it sounds kind of cool, but probably won't be much use until lots of people sign up. Any explanation appreciated. Thanks. Simon in New Orleans P.S.- Yes, I did read their FAQ. http://wiki.e164.org/moin.cgi/FrequentlyAskedQuestions ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

From the looks of it, they're just a directory... it looks like their not running asterisk themselves. They use something called EnumLookup which I guess is some kind of plugin/script. If the number you're calling is in their database, it calls the VOIP number directly, otherwise it calls the POTS number It's an interesting idea. Of course having a huge database of names/addresses/phone numbers can be quite lucrative too. Tony -- Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.

It's a DNS root, that Asterisk (via the EnumLookup application) can
use. The EnumLookup() application will resolve the number to a dial()
channel.
ie:
; north america enum
exten = _1NX,1,Playback(doing-enum-lookup)
exten = _1NX,2,EnumLookup(${EXTEN})
exten = _1NX,3,BackGround(enum-lookup-successful)
exten = _1NX,4,Dial(${ENUM},30,tr)
exten = _1NX,5,Hangup
exten = _1NX,6,Playback(enum-lookup-failed)
exten = _1NX,7,Hangup
To get * to resolve against e164.org, add:
search = e164.org
to /etc/asterisk/enum.conf.
So yes Simon, if you called someone in Germany and it was the zone, your
call would be switched over the 'net. If not, you could drop it to
NuFone or some other carrier.
They use something called EnumLookup which I guess is some kind of
plugin/script. If the number you're calling is in their database, it calls
the VOIP number directly, otherwise it calls the POTS number
Or whatever else your dial plan wants to do.

Interesting.. how does it know to go to '6', or does it just jump +4
on failure?
That reminds me I seriously need to restructure my extensions.conf... there's
no way currently I could add anything like that without major surgery (only
discovered the 'local' target this afternoon so I have everything copied/pasted).

You know, sleep deprivation cause people to do dumb things. The example
I pasted was hastily pasted and renumbered,
exten = _1NX,6,Playback(enum-lookup-failed)
exten = _1NX,7,Hangup
are actually:
exten = _1NX,103,Playback(enum-lookup-failed)
exten = _1NX,104,Hangup
Duane wrote up some more detailed examples at
http://www.e164.org/config.php.
Sorry for not proofing that when I posted it. I'll go sleep now.

Hi Tony, it is the same duane - lol you are hardly allowing it to perform least cost routing, it just does one check for ip to ip call then drops back to whatever you have written on your asterisk. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Hoyle Sent: Sunday, 23 May 2004 11:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] e164.org Dean Collins wrote: Tony, as per you inference that e164 are up to something shady, you should talk to one of the founders Duane, he currently has about 5 open If it's the same duane who runs cacert he probably means well... however having read the site I'm still not sure whether i'd use it myself (it means trusting an external database to produce a least cost route..

So eg. if I've registered 3 different sip providers and an IAX provider, plus a couple of landlines what is it doing? I guess I'm missing the point somewhere. The way I understand it is you pass it a phone number and it gives you a prefferred route to that number, which may be VOIP and may be POTS or from the looks of it MSN and lots of other things (including ldap???!!). You then pass that result straight into a Dial command, which means it could potentially do absolutely anything, including call the chinese speaking clock at peak rate. TBH I'd prefer a web page where you typed the number and it listed the alternatives (in perference order if it liked) so I could make the decision myself. Using DNS for this seems to be overkill.
