Introduction to DE-CIX NGN Andreas Sturm andreas.sturm@de-cix.net
Today s Situation: How does it look like?
Current situation Carrier s Data and Voice business operations are controlled by different departments IP transit and peering partnerships are established since years Volumes of IP data are increasing TDM voice traffic has P&L impact still - but it is migrating towards the IP World (however slowly but steadily) TDM and VOIP - interconnection partnerships are established since years, locally DTAG is an important business partner VOIP business is growing step-by-step, we suppose that typical VOIP carrier operates currently up to 12 interconnections DE-CIX Management GmbH #4

NGN Interconnect the new DE-CIX NGN: Example
DE-CIX Peering Fabric Call +49789 Directory Server 1 Vortex NP Database Vortex Registry 2 3 SP A Network 6 4 SP B Network 5 Interconnect Hub SP C Network (1) SP A user dials +49789 (2) SP A network queries Edge DS (SIP or ENUM). Registry checks that the B TN is reachable via the Exchange Returns the SIP address of the Interconnect Hub. (3) SP A sends SIP call to Hub. (4) Hub queries Registry Registry checks A/B TN Is call allowed? Returns SIP address of SP C. (5) Hub forwards SIP call to SP C, (with interworking as required) and onward to SP C user. (6) Subsequent SIP/Media relayed via hub. +49123 +49456 +49789 DE-CIX Management GmbH #25
