Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) services such as 800-number
routing (freephone), time-and-day routing, credit-card calling,
and virtual private network (mapping a private network number into a
public number) are realized by the Intelligent Network (IN).  This
document addresses means to support existing IN services from Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) endpoints for an IP-host-to-phone call.
The call request is originated on a SIP endpoint, but the services to
the call are provided by the data and procedures resident in the
PSTN/IN.  To provide IN services in a transparent manner to SIP
endpoints, this document describes the mechanism for interworking SIP
and Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP).
