Title : Numeric Provider Alias (NPA)
Author(s) : C. Jennings
Filename : draft-jennings-dispatch-npa-00.txt
Pages : 3

This draft proposes a modification to
draft-lawrence-dispatch-sipforum-provider-alias (PAN). The PAN draft
proposes a mechanism for a phone to take a short numeric identifier
that identifies a phone service provider and look it up in DNS to
find the address of the configuration server for that service
provider.
The problem with PAN is that it requires a specific organization,
sipforum.org, to become a registrar for the PAN. This will add
signifiant cost to obtaining them as the expected quantity of PAN is
low. This draft proposes a minor modification to the PAN draft.
Instead of using the sipforum as a new registrar, why not just use
the registrars that already exist for DNS names. This ensure a long
term stable unique allocation of PAN with the advantages of not
having the IETF allocating a monopoly to one particular organization.
