Looping detection and prevention
by recourse＠gmail.com Oct. 15, 2010

Oct. 15, 2010

Hello list, We are wondering how other VoIP providers/carriers handle incoming SIP call looping. What detection and remediation solutions is the general community out there currently using or have heard good things about. Right now we are currently thinking of a SNORT or some other IPS based solution that can match on repeated SIP requests matching the same caller/called within a certain time frame and then perform some sort of remediation. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience/knowledge on the 3-1-1 service? Is routing to a local 3-1-1 center for applicable metropolitan areas mandatory? Christian Pena

Replacement for Google 411
by carlos＠televolve.com Oct. 14, 2010

Oct. 14, 2010

Well I just tried 800-bing-411 and it works just like Google did. I guess I just answered my own question. Now hopefully they won't shut it down any time soon like Google. "We're number 2, we try harder..." I need to research our call records and see if anyone dials this. I can't imagine why anyone would. We only serve businesses and they all have computers. Then again, why does anyone still use fax?

This may sound strange, but we've always routed customer 411 calls to Google's 411 service. They like it, and it's free. But it's being turned off. Anyone have ideas on an alternate? Were are you sending your customers' 411 calls? -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003

Anyone have any suggestions regarding which existing ICA might be the most favorable in terms of collocation in AT&T wire centers? Also, an idea of how the TRRO affects UNE dark fiber availability (same market)? ~SP

International (Australia, UK, Venezuela, India) origination in very low volume
by jradel＠vantage.com Oct. 14, 2010

Oct. 14, 2010

The sales and marketing folks in one of our sister companies strongly desire to have local contact numbers in a variety of countries. Australia, UK, Venezuela, and India come up a lot. We're talking origination only, one number per country, very low call volumes. While they do a lot of business outside of the U.S., I'll freely admit that my experience with SIP carriers outside of the U.S. is exactly zero. Any suggestions on where to start my research? Most solutions I can find don't really seem to scale down to a single TN per country very well. If you want to sell me the perfect solution, I'd suggest private e-mail rather than replying to the list. Thanks. -- Jon Radel Sr. Director of Engineering VANTAGE COMMUNICATIONS North American Sales Office I-95 Princeton Corporate Center 370 Scotch Road Ewing, New Jersey 08628 T 609-359-7430 F none

AT&T Ground Start Loop Order
by clec＠cygnustel.com Oct. 13, 2010

Oct. 13, 2010

We are trying to order the ground start loop I had posted about a few weeks back. This is for that same USOC in order to get the less expensive Ground Start loop ordered, any idea which of these NC codes is correct or if it even matters? This is all I have; the AT&T LSC ran the USOC through their internal software and this is what it referenced: Analog DID Reversed Battery LX- TXNU 02QC2.RVO(2W Reverse Battery-Term @ end user) 02QC2.RVT(2W Reverse Battery-Orig. @ end user) 02RV2.T 02RV2.O "UNE LOOP W/O EQUIP,NO T" The LSC says one NCI represents "with equipment" one represents "without". Verizon and Qwest describe it as "terminating" and "originating". It appears as though one needs a battery to power the line on the customer end, and one is provided power. That's at least my understanding of it. This is for AT&T Midwest. Thanks, Eric

SMS-capable DIDs? (resend)
by graham.freeman＠cernio.com Oct. 13, 2010

Oct. 13, 2010

(oops. I mistakenly sent that last message before I was ready.) Hi, folks, I see that Voxbone have started to enable their DIDs to relay inbound SMSes. Are any other providers doing likewise? Are they doing so over encrypted sessions, or is it all still plaintext? (More and more entities, including Google, are using SMS as a supposedly-out-of-band way of relaying secure tidbits such as password reset info.) Have you IT folks provided that functionality to end-users in a business setting? Any best practices / gotchas? thanks, Graham

911 arbitration
by marylou＠backuptelecom.com Oct. 13, 2010

Oct. 13, 2010

Just heard about a CLEC that was able to establish a new ICA for the 4 regions and opt out of the 911 requirement! So it sounds like everyone should be able to amend their ICA to add that provision. Definitely talk to your attorney!
