well, anyone can do whatever they want already, including commerical.

ietf traditional has it that we dont mandate anyone to follow the standard...but we strong advise them to be if they want to interop.

so, an information or even bcp about how to migrate over to 2916bis would at minimal useful.

ps: of cos, countries or regions may lay down policy to mandate companies within their influence to adopt certain standard

It could be much simpler. Anybody doing a trial can do what he wants.

Anybody going commercial should use only 2916bis.
In Europe it is even simpler: anybody implemeting ENUM should
use the only official standard available, namely ETSI TS 201 172.

BTW: TS 201 172 will be updated soon to contain at least all drafts "approved" by IETF ENUM WG.

Nope, I dont think we should put both variant in the DNS in the long run.

But it does sound like it is a "good practice" to put it into DNS for now.
We
can also discuss a 'flag day' where we declare 'By 1st Jan 2006, everyone
switch to 2916bis only'.

Lawrence, if you working on the doc, pls circulate :-)

Back from vacation:

Interesting that as soon somebody is proposing some real work to
be done the discussion is dying away immediately ;-)

IMHO putting both variants in ENUM is not a good idea.
Upgrading existing ENUM clients to understand both 2916 and
2916bis is also not a good idea, because it is unnecessary
work.

The best solution would be to upgrade all existing 2916 based
ENUMs with a simple scripting run to 2916bis overnight.

Following rationale and way forward:
-2916bis is approved and only stuck in IANA, so it will come
(although nobody seems to know when ;-)
-the argument of some implementers of ENUM that they are
obliged to implement only RFCs I cannot follow really, because
in this case they could not implement ENUM at all, because
not a single "enumservice" is defined in an RFC yet.
- at least for Europe there is existing a BCP already,
defineing very well all what needs to be done to be compatible,
namely ETSI TS 102 172.
- the document should be updated accordingly to the developments
over the last year and parts of it could then easily folded back
to the IETF Grand BCP document proposed in Korea (still waiting on
input from the far east ;-)
- there will be an ETSI TISPAN WG4 meeting in two weeks, where
updates to ETSI TS 102 172 will be discussed.
-I will be happy to receive input for this document and forward
it to ETSI during the next week and also afterwards.
-the results of this updates may be folded back in an ID for San Diego.
-this leaves also time to finalize then both documents until October,
(the second ETSI ENUM Plugtest Workshop)
to use both the ETSI document and the IETF document as basis
for the ETSI Plugtest event in December.

We should not forget that some ENUM implementations will go
commercial mid of this year and more will follow until the
end of the year.

If 2916bis is not an official RFC within mid of the year, the
only feasible way (at least in Europe) will be to use the
ETSI TS anyway.

Another option is to remove the IANA stuff from RFC2916bis in
A similar way it is done with 2806bis by Jonathan (quod licet Jovi,
also licet bovi ;-)

best regards
Richard

Hi James, folks,
<note>
  First point - due to a good example of I.T. departments at their

very

best,
any mail with a dot in the subject is not readable by a certain
would-be reader
of this thread - please could folk remove the dot I inadvertently put
onto the

Yes - I've already considered adding this as part of the ENUM grand
unified
Implementers Guide/BCP. I guess someone should summarise this thread

on

IETF ENUM mailing list - any offers?

I have to say I still have qualms over this as it doubles the size of
the
replies which IS a problem for existing implementations that
realistically
cannot be changed as they're already on the limit of available size in
the
JVM on some cell phones (before someone jumps in :). Of course, if
everyone
went out and purchased a new smartphone, then this would not be a
problem,
(as they wouldn't be running long enough to get a response back :).

However... it IS a migration strategy, and given the sterling work

IANA

and the RFC Editor have done** to ensure that I retire before we have

clear replacement, it may be the least bad solution.

all the best,
  Lawrence

comment.

just a matter of curiousity...how many implementations are still

using

2916
and not 2916bis?

ps: it does make sense to put both 2916 and 2916bis in the record.
perhaps
someone should put together a BCP.

I guess they still use RFC 2916 format.

yes, we are still using 2916 format for NAPTR RRs

My *personal* recommendation is to use both 2916 and 2916bis

format

for
a while as software might not be updated yet according to 2916bis.

i think it's good idea to support both 2916/2916bis for a while.

for

example
our "look-up" & "phone book" applications are still based on

rfc2916:

www.dns.pl/cgi-bin/en_enum_lookup.pl
www.dns.pl/ENUM/enumClient.zip

Hi Andrzej,
looking at the first number (+48225231300) , I note that the ENUM
data
is broken.

The service field is "mailto+E2U" - in RFC2916bis the E2U goes at
the
start of
the field, NOT the end.

Likewise for the second number.

Sigh.

See ETSI's TS 102 172 for the ETSI spec on Interoperability of
European trials.

all the best,
 Lawrence
