DUNDi is essentially a trusted, peer-to-peer system for being able to
|
||
|
call any phone number from the Internet. DUNDi works by creating a
|
||
|
network of nodes called the "DUNDi E.164 Trust Group" which are bound by
|
||
|
a common peering agreement known as the General Peering Agreement or
|
||
|
GPA. The GPA legally binds the members of the Trust Group to provide
|
||
|
good-faith accurate information to the other nodes on the network, and
|
||
|
provides standards by which the community can insure the integrity of
|
||
|
the information on the nodes themselves. Unlike ENUM or similar
|
||
|
systems, DUNDi is explicitly designed to preclude any necessity for a
|
||
|
single centralized system which could be a source of fees, regulation,
|
||
|
etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can find the PEERING agreement in the doc directory.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Much less dramatically, DUNDi can also be used within a private
|
||
|
enterprise to share a dialplan efficiently between multiple nodes,
|
||
|
without incuring a risk of a single point of failure. In this way,
|
||
|
administrators can locally add extensions which become immediately
|
||
|
available to the other nodes in the system.
