NP changes the fundamental nature of a dialed >E.164 number from a hierarchical physical routing address to a >virtual address, thereby requiring the transparent translation of >the later to the former. In addition, there are various regulatory >constraints which establish relevant parameters for NP >implementation, most of which are not network technology specific. >Consequently, the implementation of NP behavior consistent with >applicable regulatory constraints, as well as the need for >interoperation with the existing GSTN NP implementations, are >relevant topics for numerous areas of IP telephony work-in-progress >at IETF. > >A URL for this Internet-Draft is: >http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-foster-e164-gstn-np-00.txt > >Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP.
