Title : User identification in a SIP/QSIG environment

Filename : draft-elwell-sipping-identity-interworking-00.txt

This document examines means of identifying or naming users of
telephony services within an enterprise. Numeric names (numbers) are
used in traditional Private Integrated Services Networks (PISNs)
using QSIG as the network signalling protocol. They are also used for
external communication, e.g., with a public Integrated Services
Digital Network (ISDN). Names need not be numeric in Internet
Protocol (IP) networks employing signalling protocols such as the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This document therefore looks at
naming schemes that are appropriate within enterprise IP networks, in
particular enterprise IP networks employing SIP as the signalling
protocol. It also investigates naming schemes that are appropriate in
a mixed QSIG/SIP enterprise network and the treatment of names at an
interworking point. It details the use of names not only for
selecting a user to participate in a call, but also as a means of
identifying a user in a call to other users in that call. ENUM and
private ENUM-like services are also examined.

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
