2Whats it About?
- INOC-DBA Inter-NOC Dial-by-ASN
- Global Voice-over-IP hotline phone system,
directly interconnecting NOCs and SIRTs within
carriers, ISPs, exchange points, and vendors.
3How does it work?
- If you just dial an Autonomous System Number,
itll ring a predefined group of phones within
that AS. (example 42 ) - If you dial an ASN and an extension number, itll
ring the phones belonging to that person.
(example 42WEW ) - Also, well-known extensions for NOC, abuse,
routing, SIRT, et cetera.
4How does it work?
- SIP is similar to Dynamic DNS.
- Pick up an address via DHCP or statically
- Download config from preconfigured server
- Register current IP address with a SIP Registry
- Registry transfers IP address to SIP Proxies
- When someone calls your phone, they do a
dialed-number-to-IP-address lookup against the
proxy - Then their phone contacts yours directly.
5Any Problems So Far?
- CPE network environment
- NAT and firewall traversal
- Unusual DHCP server options
- Nothing a little static configuration cant
overcome.
6Unexpected Benefits
- QoS is completely unnecessary.
- Sound quality far exceeds that of the PSTN, even
under the worst conditions. - Latency seems less annoying when its not
accompanied by degraded sound.
