The ENUMLOOKUP function is more complex than it first may appear, and
|
|
this guide is to give a general overview and set of examples that may
|
|
be well-suited for the advanced user to evaluate in their
|
|
consideration of ENUM or ENUM-like lookup strategies. This document
|
|
assumes a familiarity with ENUM (RFC3761) or ENUM-like methods, as
|
|
well as familiarity with NAPTR DNS records (RFC2915, RFC3401-3404).
|
|
For an overview of NAPTR records, and the use of NAPTRs in the ENUM
|
|
global phone-number-to-DNS mapping scheme, please see
|
|
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=ENUM for more detail.
|
|
|
|
Using ENUM within Asterisk can be simple or complex, depending on how
|
|
many failover methods and redundancy procedures you wish to utilize.
|
|
Implementation of ENUM paths is supposedly defined by the person
|
|
creating the NAPTR records, but the local administrator may choose to
|
|
ignore certain NAPTR response methods (URI types) or prefer some over
|
|
others, which is in contradiction to the RFC. The ENUMLOOKUP method
|
|
simply provides administrators a method for determining NAPTR results
|
|
in either the globally unique ENUM (e164.arpa) DNS tree, or in other
|
|
ENUM-like DNS trees which are not globally unique. The methods to
|
|
actually create channels ("dial") results given by the ENUMLOOKUP
|
|
function is then up to the administrator to implement in a way that
|
|
best suits their environment.
|
|
|
|
Function: ENUMLOOKUP(<number>[,pointer_type[,options[,zone_suffix]]])
|
|
|
|
Performs an ENUM tree lookup on the specified number, method type,
|
|
and (optionally) ordinal offset, and returns one of four different values:
|
|
|
|
1) post-parsed NAPTR of one method (URI) type
|
|
2) count of elements of one method (URI) type
|
|
3) count of all method types
|
|
4) full URI of method at a particular point in the list of all possible methods
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
number = telephone number or search string. Only numeric values
|
|
within this string are parsed; all other digits are ignored for
|
|
search, but are re-written during NAPTR regexp expansion.
|
|
|
|
service_type = tel, sip, h323, iax2, mailto, ...[any other string],
|
|
ALL. Default type is "sip".
|
|
Special name of "ALL" will create a list of method types across
|
|
all NAPTR records for the search number, and then put the results
|
|
in an ordinal list starting with 1. The position <number>
|
|
specified will then be returned, starting with 1 as the first
|
|
record (lowest value) in the list. The service types are not
|
|
hardcoded in Asterisk except for the default (sip) if no other
|
|
service type specified; any method type string (IANA-approved or
|
|
not) may be used except for the string "ALL".
|
|
|
|
options = optional specifiers.
|
|
c = count. Returns the number of records of this type are returned
|
|
(regardless of order or priority.) If "ALL" is the specified
|
|
service_type, then a count of all methods will be returned for the
|
|
DNS record.
|
|
<integer> = The record in priority/order sequence based on the
|
|
total count of records passed back by the query. If a service_type
|
|
is specified, all entries of that type will be sorted into an
|
|
ordinal list starting with 1 (by order first, then priority).
|
|
The default of <options> is "1"
|
|
|
|
zone_suffix = allows customization of the ENUM zone. Default is e164.arpa.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE USES:
|
|
|
|
Let's use this ENUM list as an example (note that these examples exist
|
|
in the DNS, and will hopefully remain in place as example
|
|
destinations, but they may change or become invalid over time. The
|
|
end result URIs are not guaranteed to actually work, since some of
|
|
these hostnames or SIP proxies are imaginary. Of course, the tel:
|
|
replies go to directory assistance for New York City and San
|
|
Francisco...) Also note that the complex SIP NAPTR at weight 30 will
|
|
strip off the leading "+" from the dialed string if it exists. This
|
|
is probably a better NAPTR than hard-coding the number into the NAPTR,
|
|
and it is included as a more complex regexp example, though other
|
|
simpler NAPTRs will work just as well.
|
|

|
|
0.2.0.1.1.6.5.1.0.3.1.loligo.com. 3600 IN NAPTR 10 100 "u" "E2U+tel" "!^\\+13015611020$!tel:+12125551212!" .
|
|
0.2.0.1.1.6.5.1.0.3.1.loligo.com. 3600 IN NAPTR 21 100 "u" "E2U+tel" "!^\\+13015611020$!tel:+14155551212!" .
|
|
0.2.0.1.1.6.5.1.0.3.1.loligo.com. 3600 IN NAPTR 25 100 "u" "E2U+sip" "!^\\+13015611020$!sip:2203@sip.fox-den.com!" .
|
|
0.2.0.1.1.6.5.1.0.3.1.loligo.com. 3600 IN NAPTR 26 100 "u" "E2U+sip" "!^\\+13015611020$!sip:1234@sip-2.fox-den.com!" .
|
|
0.2.0.1.1.6.5.1.0.3.1.loligo.com. 3600 IN NAPTR 30 100 "u" "E2U+sip" "!^\\+*([^\\*]*)!sip:\\1@sip-3.fox-den.com!" .
|
|
0.2.0.1.1.6.5.1.0.3.1.loligo.com. 3600 IN NAPTR 55 100 "u" "E2U+mailto" "!^\\+13015611020$!mailto:jtodd@fox-den.com!" .
|
|
|
|
Example 1: Simplest case, using first SIP return (use all defaults
|
|
except for domain name)
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,,,loligo.com)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}="2203@sip.fox-den.com"
|
|
|
|
Example 2: What is the first "tel" pointer type for this number?
|
|
(after sorting by order/preference; default of "1" is assumed in
|
|
options field)
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,tel,,loligo.com)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}="+12125551212"
|
|
|
|
Example 3: How many "sip" pointer type entries are there for this number?
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,sip,c,loligo.com)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}=3
|
|
|
|
Example 4: For all the "tel" pointer type entries, what is the second
|
|
one in the list? (after sorting by preference)
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,tel,2,loligo.com)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}="+14155551212"
|
|
|
|
Example 5: How many NAPTRs (tel, sip, mailto, etc.) are in the list for this number?
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,ALL,c,loligo.com)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}=6
|
|
|
|
Example 6: Give back the second full URI in the sorted list of all NAPTR URIs:
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,ALL,2,loligo.com)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}="tel:+14155551212" [note the "tel:" prefix in the string]
|
|
|
|
Example 7: Look up first SIP entry for the number in the e164.arpa zone (all defaults)
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+437203001721)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}="enum-test@sip.nemox.net" [note: this result is
|
|
subject to change as it is "live" DNS and not under my control]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example 8: Look up the ISN mapping in freenum.org alpha test zone
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(1234*256,,,freenum.org)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}="1234@204.91.156.10" [note: this result is subject
|
|
to change as it is "live" DNS]
|
|
|
|
Example 9: Give back the first SIP pointer for a number in the
|
|
enum.yoydynelabs.com zone (invalid lookup)
|
|
exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(1234567890,sip,1,enum.yoyodynelabs.com)})
|
|
returns: ${foo}=""
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage notes and subtle features:
|
|
|
|
a) The use of "+" in lookups is confusing, and warrants further
|
|
explanation. All E.164 numbers ("global phone numbers") by
|
|
definition need a leading "+" during ENUM lookup. If you neglect to
|
|
add a leading "+", you may discover that numbers that seem to exist
|
|
in the DNS aren't getting matched by the system or are returned with
|
|
a null string result. This is due to the NAPTR reply requiring a
|
|
"+" in the regular expression matching sequence. Older versions of
|
|
Asterisk add a "+" from within the code, which may confuse
|
|
administrators converting to the new function. Please ensure that
|
|
all ENUM (e164.arpa) lookups contain a leading "+" before lookup, so
|
|
ensure your lookup includes the leading plus sign. Other DNS trees
|
|
may or may not require a leading "+" - check before using those
|
|
trees, as it is possible the parsed NAPTRs will not provide correct
|
|
results unless you have the correct dialed string. If you get
|
|
console messages like "WARNING[24907]: enum.c:222 parse_naptr: NAPTR
|
|
Regex match failed." then it is very possible that the returned
|
|
NAPTR expects a leading "+" in the search string (or the returned
|
|
NAPTR is mis-formed.)
|
|
|
|
b) If a query is performed of type "c" ("count") and let's say you
|
|
get back 5 records and then some seconds later a query is made
|
|
against record 5 in the list, it may not be the case that the DNS
|
|
resolver has the same answers as it did a second or two ago - maybe
|
|
there are only 4 records in the list in the newest query. The
|
|
resolver should be the canonical storage location for DNS records,
|
|
since that is the intent of ENUM. However, some obscure future
|
|
cases may have wildly changing NAPTR records within several seconds.
|
|
This is a corner case, and probably only worth noting as a very rare
|
|
circumstance. (note: I do not object to Asterisk's dnsmgr method of
|
|
locally caching DNS replies, but this method needs to honor the TTL
|
|
given by the remote zone master. Currently, the ENUMLOOKUP function
|
|
does not use the dnsmgr method of caching local DNS replies.)
|
|
|
|
c) If you want strict NAPTR value ordering, then it will be
|
|
necessary to use the "ALL" method to incrementally step through the
|
|
different returned NAPTR pointers. You will need to use string
|
|
manipulation to strip off the returned method types, since the
|
|
results will look like "sip:12125551212" in the returned value.
|
|
This is a non-trivial task, though it is required in order to have
|
|
strict RFC compliance and to comply with the desires of the remote
|
|
party who is presenting NAPTRs in a particular order for a reason.
|
|
|
|
d) Default behavior for the function (even in event of an error) is
|
|
to move to the next priority, and the result is a null value. Most
|
|
ENUM lookups are going to be failures, and it is the responsibility
|
|
of the dialplan administrator to manage error conditions within
|
|
their dialplan. This is a change from the old app_enumlookup method
|
|
and it's arbitrary priority jumping based on result type or failure.
|
|
|
|
e) Anything other than digits will be ignored in lookup strings.
|
|
Example: a search string of "+4372030blah01721" will turn into
|
|
1.2.7.1.0.0.3.0.2.7.3.4.e164.arpa. for the lookup. The NAPTR
|
|
parsing may cause unexpected results if there are strings inside
|
|
your NAPTR lookups.
|
|
|
|
f) If there exist multiple records with the same weight and order as
|
|
a result of your query, the function will RANDOMLY select a single
|
|
NAPTR from those equal results.
|
|
|
|
g) Currently, the function ignores the settings in enum.conf as the
|
|
search zone name is now specified within the function, and the H323
|
|
driver can be chosen by the user via the dialplan. There were no
|
|
other values in this file, and so it becomes deprecated.
|
|
|
|
h) The function will digest and return NAPTRs which use older
|
|
(depricated) style, reversed method strings such as "sip+E2U"
|
|
instead of the more modern "E2U+sip"
|
|
|
|
i) There is no provision for multi-part methods at this time. If
|
|
there are multiple NAPTRs with (as an example) a method of
|
|
"E2U+voice:sip" and then another NAPTR in the same DNS record with a
|
|
method of ""E2U+sip", the system will treat these both as method
|
|
"sip" and they will be separate records from the perspective of the
|
|
function. Of course, if both records point to the same URI and have
|
|
equal priority/weight (as is often the case) then this will cause no
|
|
serious difficulty, but it bears mentioning.
|
|
|
|
j) ISN (ITAD Subscriber Number) usage: If the search number is of
|
|
the form ABC*DEF (where ABC and DEF are at least one numeric digit)
|
|
then perform an ISN-style lookup where the lookup is manipulated to
|
|
C.B.A.DEF.domain.tld (all other settings and options apply.) See
|
|
http://www.freenum.org/ for more details on ISN lookups. In the
|
|
unlikely event you wish to avoid ISN re-writes, put an "n" as the
|
|
first digit of the search string - the "n" will be ignored for the search.
|
|

==EXAMPLES==
|
|
|
|
All examples below except where noted use "e164.arpa" as the
|
|
referenced domain, which is the default domain name for ENUMLOOKUP.
|
|
All numbers are assumed to not have a leading "+" as dialed by the
|
|
inbound channel, so that character is added where necessary during
|
|
ENUMLOOKUP function calls.
