+Internet-Draft DUNDi October 2004
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ This memo describes the Distributed Universal Number Discovery
+ (DUNDi) protocol for resolving phone numbers into Internet resources
+ for contacting those phone numbers, through a peer to peer, trusted
+ system.
+
+ Unlike centralized systems like ENUM, DUNDi is designed to facilitate
+ the sharing of resources that can be used to terminate phone numbers
+ by using a peer to peer system, requiring no centralized controlling
+ authority, no single point of failure, and no enforced heirarchy. In
+ this way, systems sharing a dialplan across an enterprise or across
+ the globe can be assembled in an ad-hoc manor, while retaining
+ confidence in the accuracy of the routes that are supplied and the
+ security of both the queries and the answers within the trust group.
+
+1.1 DUNDi Terminology
+
+ The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119[1].
+
+ Additionally, this document uses the following terminology:
+
+ node
+ A system which implements the DUNDi protocol.
+
+ peer
+ As a verb, to exchange information via the DUNDi protocol in a
+ particular context. As a noun, a node with which one peers.
+
+ context
+ A logical collection of numbers, composing a virtual numbering
+ plan.
+
+ entity identifier (EID)
+ A unique 6-byte identifier for a node, typically the Ethernet
+ MAC address of one of its interfaces.
+
+ transaction
+ A complete dialog between two ends, uniquely identified at each
+ end.
+
+ time to live (TTL)
+ A numerical representation of the number of hops through the
+ DUNDi system and amount of time for which a query is valid.
+
+

+
+
+ weight
+ A value indicating the relative cost or indirection of a
+ particular answer. A lower weight represents a route which is
+ more direct to the intended location. The lowest weight value
+ is 0.
+
+ General Peering Agreement (GPA)
+ A special peering agreement executed by members of the Dundi
+ E.164 trust group to protect the integrity of the entries in
+ that context.
+
+1.2 Applicability
+
+ DUNDi is specifically targeted at the problem of locating routes for
+ telephone numbers over the Internet. While DUNDi has applications
+ for finding routes for other kinds of information (e.g. e-mail
+ addresses), implementations MAY perform certain optimizations based
+ on the assumption that the query is, in fact, for a telephone number
+ and relying on certain heuristics thereof.
+
+ DUNDi is especially valuable in networks in which robustness to the
+ loss of a node is valuable.
+
+ DUNDi is also useful for building trust relationships between
+ independent organizations who wish to communicate with one another,
+ but for whom centralizing or delegating the required information
+ would be impractical or impossible.
+
+ DUNDi is valuable for networks in which more than one method exists,
+ possibly with different priorities, for attempting to reach a phone
+ number. For example, it may be possible to reach a phone number both
+ directly over the Internet or via an Internet to PSTN gateway, in
+ which the former is preferred, but the latter is an acceptable
+ alternative.
+
+ DUNDi is valuable for networks in which a phone number may move from
+ one service provider to another (e.g. implementation of local number
+ portability).
+
+1.3 Protocol Overview
+
+ DUNDi is a lightweight, low bandwidth, secure, binary encoded
+ protocol for sharing and discovering routes to numbers in arbitrary
+ dialplans. DUNDi provides messages and information elements designed
+ to allow implementors the maximum flexibility in developing creative
+ ways to minimize the amount of traffic and maximize the number of
+ results that can be obtained through the system. DUNDi itself is not
+ used for the actual call setup and voice control, only for locating
+
+
+
+Spencer Expires April 13, 2005 [Page 5]
+
+Internet-Draft DUNDi October 2004
+
+
+ the resource for delivering the call. Typically the call setup and
+ voice control will be handled by another appropriate protocol (for
+ example IAX, SIP, or H.323).
+
+ Each node in DUNDi is identified by a globally unique six byte entity
+ identifier, whose value typically is an Ethernet MAC address for one
+ of the interfaces in the system.
+
+ DUNDi supports overlaying multiple dialplans by the use of a
+ "context", permitting, for example, an enterprise for using DUNDi for
+ the management of local four digit dialing under a private context
+ (e.g. "private"), while permitting them to share in the global
+ "e164" context for true E.164 numbers. Any context name may be used,
+ but the context "e164" is reserved for members of the DUNDi E.164
+ trust group who have executed the General Peering Agreement (GPA).
+
+ DUNDi uses a simple, consistant binary encoded message frame with
+ information elements to provide the necessary additional attributes
+ for those messages.
+
+ DUNDi does not enforce or require a particular topology although in
+ pratice certain topologies will lend to better scaling of the
+ resulting conglomberation of nodes by taking advantage of caching and
+ hints. Generally speaking, m-ary trees can provide good architecture
+ for large numbers of nodes, while strongly connected networks can
+ work well in enterprise applications.
+
+ To provide security and privacy, DUNDi uses RSA and AES for
+ encryption and RSA for authenticating information.

+
+
+2. Protocol Functioning
+
+ This section outlines the overall operation of the protocol.
+
+ The fundamental construction of a DUNDi trust group is a collection
+ of nodes in which each node is connected to at least one other node
+ in the group (although in practice, often each node should be
+ connected to two other nodes in order to provide redundancy).
+
+ An example trust group might look like this:
+
+
+ +----------+ +----------+
+ | | Trust | |
+ | Node |<---------------------->| Node |
+ | A |<------+ | D |
+ | | | T | |
+ +----------+ | r +----------+
+ | u
+ +----------+ | s +----------+
+ | | | t | |
+ | Node |<------+ Trust | Node |
+ | B |<---------------------->| C |
+ | | | |
+ +----------+ +----------+
+
+
+ In this model, node A has a trust relationship with nodes D and B,
+ while node B has a trust relationship with nodes A and C
+
+ Suppose, for example, that A wants to call the number 1234. First, A
+ would verify that 1234 was not in its local routing table or cache.
+ Assuming it wasn't, A would then send queries to both B and D to
+ request information on the number. If B or D had the number in its
+ local table or cache, they would return the answer to A. B would
+ also enquire from node C an answer which could then be returned to
+ node A in response to its query. Note that more than one node MAY
+ supply an answer for a query, even if those answers have the same
+ weight.
+
+ Each implementation MUST attempt to minimize the number of queries
+ throughout the trust system, without sacrificing the accuracy of the
+ answers provided. Some queries can be reduced by caching, others can
+ be reduced by cleverly pruning trees through good architecture and
+ the use of "hints".
+

+Internet-Draft DUNDi October 2004
+
+
+2.1 DUNDi Transactions
+
+ A dundi transaction is a complete dialog within the DUNDi protocol
+ from one node to another. A transaction is uniquely identified at
+ each end by an arbitrary 16-bit transaction identifier from 1 to
+ 65535 which SHOULD be selected as a random number for increased
+ security. Each message contains both a source and destination
+ transaction number so that a received message can be uniquely
+ identified by the transaction number alone. The transaction
+ identifier "0" is reserved for the destination transaction for the
+ opening message of a dialog, since the destination transaction is not
+ known at that time.
+
+ A transaction MUST be started by the transmission of a command and
+ MUST NOT be started by the transmission of a response. A transaction
+ may be terminated at any time by either node participating by
+ transmitting a message, other than ACK, with the "F" or "final" bit
+ set, the receipt of which message MUST still be acknowledged by an
+ ACK message. A node MUST NOT send any message after the receipt of a
+ message with the "F" bit set to 1, except ACK. That ACK MUST have
+ the F bit set to 1.
+
+ Each message includes an 8-bit incoming and 8-bit outgoing sequence
+ number. Each node independently holds an outgoing sequence number
+ which is set to 0 for the first message of a transaction sent by that
+ node. The outgoing sequence number is then incremented after the
+ transmission of each new message, except ACK. The 8-bit incoming
+ sequence number represents the next value for the outgoing sequence
+ number that would be sent by the other party.
+
+ DUNDi has a window size of exactly 1, meaning that a node SHOULD NOT
+ transmit a new message until it has received a message from the other
+ node with the incoming sequence number set to the value of the
+ outgoing sequence number that node wishes to send in its next
+ message.
+
+ Upon receipt of a message other than ACK or INVALID with the outgoing
+ sequence number set to the next expected incoming sequence number,
+ the receiver MUST increment its next expected incoming sequence
+ number and send a message with the updated next incoming sequence
+ number. If there is no other message to be sent when the message is
+ received, an ACK MUST be sent.
+
+ Upon receipt of a message other than ACK or INVALID with the outgoing
+ sequence number set to the next expected incoming sequence number,
+ the receiver MUST immediately respond with an ACK command, with the
+ next expected incoming sequence number set to the currently expected
+ incoming sequence number (without being incremented) and the outgoing
+
+
+
+Spencer Expires April 13, 2005 [Page 8]
+
+Internet-Draft DUNDi October 2004
+
+
+ sequence number set to the value of the incoming sequence number in
+ the received packet.
+
+ Any message received in which the outgoing sequence number is neither
+ the last expected incoming sequence number nor the currently expected
+ next received sequence number MUST be ignored.
+
+2.2 Retransmissions
+
+ A DUNDi request may be retransmitted up to 10 times at time intervals
+ to be decided by the implementor, but not greater than 1 second. If
+ a message is not acknowledged after 10 retransmissions or 10 seconds,
+ the transaction MUST be considered closed with no further messages
+ being transmitted or expected.
+
+2.3 Registration
+
+ The REGREQ and REGRESPONSE are used to for one DUNDi peer, typically
+ with a dynamic or address translated location, to register its
+ presence to another, fixed DUNDi peer. The registering peer sends a
+ REGREQ to the fixed peer (typically as a new transaction), which
+ responds with REGRESPONSE regardless of whether the request was
+ accepted or not. If the registration is successful, it must expire
+ and be removed after time in the EXPIRATION information element of
+ the REGRESPONSE has passed, and the registering entity MUST
+ re-register before that timer expires if it wishes to retain its
+ registration.
+
+2.4 Dialplan Discovery
+
+ The DPDISCOVER and DPRESPONSE commands are used to discover a number.
+ A DPDISCOVER typically opens a new transaction to perform a query
+ and, if authorized, is typically responded to with an ACK and then
+ eventually with a DPRESPONSE with the F bit set to 1.
+
+ Upon receipt of a DPDISCOVER, an entity MUST respond with a
+ DPRESPONSE within T milliseconds where T is the value of the TTL
+ information element multiplied by 200 and added to 2000. An entity
+ which makes a DPDISCOVER SHOULD terminate its request with CANCEL if
+ it does not receive a DPRESPONSE within T + 200 milliseconds of
+ making its request. The peer making the DPDISCOVER request and
+ receiving the DPRESPONSE should process and cache the response and
+ immediately create its own DPRESPONSE to any DPDISCOVER request which
+ had the source of its DPDISCOVER.
+
+ If a DPDISCOVER is sent in conjunction with a DPDISCOVER that was
+ received from another entity:
+
+
+
+
+Spencer Expires April 13, 2005 [Page 9]
+
+Internet-Draft DUNDi October 2004
+
+
+ 1. It MUST have a TTL which is one less than the TTL in the received
+ DPDISCOVER command. If the received TTL is 0, the request MUST
+ NOT be forwarded to any other entities.
+ 2. It MUST NOT be sent to any entities whose identities are listed
+ in the originating DPDISCOVER.
+ 3. The last EID information element in the new DPDISCOVER MUST be
+ the same as the last EID information element in the originating
+ DPDISCOVER. The first EID information element must be the EID of
+ the entity sending the new DPDISCOVER. All other EID's listed in
+ the original DPDISCOVER MUST be included in any new DPDISCOVER.
+
+ Regardless of the source of a DPDISCOVER, the following MUST always
+ hold true for the DPRESPONSE:
+ 1. A DPRESPONSE being sent MAY include one or more answers but MUST
+ NOT include answers with the same Technology and Destination. If
+ the DPRESPONSE is combining answers from sources which share the
+ same Technology and Destination, it MUST only include the answer
+ with the lowest Weight.
+ 2. If there were any entities which would have been queried had the
+ TTL been greater than 1, then the response MUST have the hint
+ flag TTLEXPIRED present.
+ 3. The UNAFFECTED hint bit MUST be set if and only if no entities
+ listed in the DPDISCOVER with the EID information element (as
+ opposed to the EID_DIRECT information element) would have been
+ queried anyway, had they not been present in the request.
+ 4. The DONTASK hint bit SHOULD be set, and the shortest substring of
+ the number for which no number beginning with that substring
+ could possibly have been a match.
+
+2.5 EID Query
+
+ The EIDQUERY and EIDRESPONSE commands are used to obtain information
+ about a speific EID in the network. An EIDQUERY typically opens a
+ new transaction to perform a query and, if authorized, is typically
+ responded to with an ACK and then eventually with a EIDRESPONSE with
+ the F bit set to 1.
+
+ The rules for forwarding EID queries generally follow those of the
+ DPDISCOVER/DPRESPONSE described in Section 2.4.

+
+
+ An example transaction sequence might look something like this
+ (assume Si is next expected incoming sequence number and So is the
+ next outgoing sequence number, Ts is the source transaction number,
+ Td is the destination transaction number and F is the final bit:
+
+
+ Example 1: Register request /response
+
+ Node A Node B
+
+ REGREQ (So=0,Si=0,Ts=1234,Td=0,F=0) ===============>
+
+ <======= REGRESPONSE (So=0,Si=1,Ts=5678,Td=1234,F=1)
+
+ ACK (So=1,Si=1,Ts=1234,Td=5678,F=1) ===============>
+
+
+ Example 2: Dialplan discovery
+
+ Node A Node B
+
+ DPDISCOVER (So=0,Si=0,Ts=2345,Td=0) ===============>
+
+ <=============== ACK (So=0,Si=1,Ts=6789,Td=2345,F=0)
+
+ <======== DPRESPONSE (So=0,Si=1,Ts=6789,Td=2345,F=1)
+
+ ACK (So=1,Si=1,Ts=2345,Td=6789,F=1) ===============>
+
+ Example 3: Entity Identifier Query
+
+ Node A Node B
+
+ EIDQUERY (So=0,Si=0,Ts=3456,Td=0) =================>
+
+ <=============== ACK (So=0,Si=1,Ts=6789,Td=3456,F=0)
+
+ <======= EIDRESPONSE (So=0,Si=1,Ts=6789,Td=3456,F=1)
+
+ ACK (So=1,Si=1,Ts=3456,Td=6789,F=1) ===============>
+
+
+ (Note that these examples do not use encryption, but the flow would
+ be essentially identical with encryption.)

+3. Packet Format and Forwarding
+
+3.1 Protocol and Port Number
+
+ Packets in DUNDi are communicated using UDP on "well known" port 4520
+ (not yet assigned by IANA)
+
+3.2 Endpoint Identifiers
+
+ The endpoint identifier is a 6 byte globally unique identifier. In
+ order that global uniqueness be guaranteed, an implementation SHOULD
+ use the MAC address of an ethernet, bluetooth, or similar interface
+ within the system.
+
+3.3 Packet Format
+
+ The basic layout of any packet in DUNDi (omitting IP and UDP
+ headers):
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+4. DUNDi Commands and Responses
+
+ DUNDi commands are eight bits in length including the R ("Response")
+ and F ("Final") bits. This section documents the encodings and
+ information elements for each frame. For each section, the encoding
+ of the message is provided as well as a table of information elements
+ which are applicable for the message, along with their meanings. Any
+ information elements which are received that are NOT listed within
+ the specification MUST be ignored unless their meaning is defined by
+ a later version of this standard. A DUNDi peer MUST NOT append
+ additional information elements which are not listed for a message
+ unless they are defined by a later version of this standard. A DUNDi
+ peer SHOULD refuse to process a command or response for which
+ mandatory information elements are missing.
+
+ The order of different kinds of information elements within a message
+ is irrelevent except that the ENCDATA information element MUST be
+ last if it is present at all.
+
+ The folowing table describes the meaning of the "Type" field of the
+ tables for information elements:
+
+ +------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ + Type | Name | Meaning with relation to message |
+ +------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | M | Mandatory | exactly one MUST be present |
+ +-------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | O | Optional | exactly one MAY be present |
+ +-------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | M+ | Mandatory | at least one MUST be present, more permitted |
+ +-------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
+ | O+ | Optional | one or more MAY be present |
+ +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ The F bit MUST be set to a 1 when the ACK is in response to the final
+ message of a transaction and MUST be set to 0 in all other cases.

+4.1 ACK Response
+
+ The ACK CmdResp and CmdFlags values shall be encoded as follows:
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |F|1| 0x00 | 0x00 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The F bit MUST be set to a 1 when the ACK is in response to the final
+ message of a transaction and MUST be set to 0 in all other cases.
+ Any received CmdFlags MUST be ignored unless they are defined by a
+ later version of this standard. CmdFlags MUST be encoded as 0 unless
+ flags are defined by a later version of this standard.
+
+ The following information elements are used with ACK:
+
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ + Information Element | Type | Notes |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ | No Information Elements are included with this message |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+
+ No Information Element Notes.
+
+ The purpose of the ACK command is to acknowledge receipt of a message
+ when there is no other message immediately available to be sent.
+ Note that the outgoing sequence number is NOT incremented after
+ transmission of ACK, unlike all other messages. ACK MUST NOT be sent
+ in response to another ACK or INVALID message.
+
+4.2 DPDISCOVER Command
+
+ The DPDISCOVER CmdResp and CmdFlags values shall be encoded as
+ follows:
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |0|0| 0x01 | 0x00 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ Any received CmdFlags MUST be ignored unless they are defined by a
+ later version of this standard. CmdFlags MUST be encoded as 0 unless
+ flags are defined by a later version of this standard. A node MUST
+ NOT set the F bit on a DPDISCOVER since it would preclude an answer
+ from coming back. Handling of a DPDISCOVER with the F bit set to 1
+

+
+ MUST remain in accordance with Section 2.1.
+
+ The following information elements are used with DPDISCOVER:
+
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ + Information Element | Type | Notes |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ | VERSION | M | MUST be the value "1" for this |
+ | | | version of the standard. |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ | EID / EID_DIRECT | M+ | First listed EID MUST be that of |
+ | | | the entity making the request. |
+ | | | Last listed EID MUST be the |
+ | | | original source of the request. |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ | CALLED NUMBER | M | The number being discovered. |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ | CALLED CONTEXT | M | The context in which to discover. |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ | TTL | M | The TTL of this request. |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+
+ The purpose of the DPDISCOVER command is to initiate discovery of a
+ number within the DUNDi system. The DPDISCOVER typically begins a
+ transaction and is typically responded to initially with an ACK and
+ then with a DPRESPONSE once the DPDISCOVER has been processed by the
+ remote node. Upon receiving a DPDISCOVER, a peer MUST respond within
+ 200ms of the TTL plus 2000ms.
+
+4.3 DPRESPONSE Response
+
+ The DPRESPONSE CmdResp and CmdFlags values shall be encoded as
+ follows:
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |F|1| 0x02 | 0x00 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ Any received CmdFlags MUST be ignored unless they are defined by a
+ later version of this standard. CmdFlags MUST be encoded as 0 unless
+ flags are defined by a later version of this standard. A node MAY
+ set the F bit on a DPRESPONSE.

+ | ANSWER | O+ | Any discovered answers from the |
+ | | | system. |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ | HINT | M | Hints about answers or lack |
+ | | | thereof. |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+ | EXPIRATION | M | Expiration of this answer, hint or |
+ | | | lack of information. |
+ +---------------------+------+------------------------------------+
+
+ The purpose of the DPRESPONSE is to communicate the answer to a
+ DPDISCOVERY back to the requesting source.
+
+4.4 EIDQUERY Command
+
+ The EIDQUERY CmdResp and CmdFlags values shall be encoded as follows:
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

+
+ Any received CmdFlags MUST be ignored unless they are defined by a
+ later version of this standard. CmdFlags MUST be encoded as 0 unless
+ flags are defined by a later version of this standard. A node MUST
+ NOT set the F bit on a EIDQUERY since it would preclude an answer
+ from coming back. Handling of a EIDQUERY with the F bit set to 1
+ MUST remain in accordance with Section 2.1.
