History: CNAM Proxy ServerSource of version: 6 (current)!CNAM Proxy Server
--- This idea is hereby placed into the public domain as of 2005-12-2. This architecture applies to any and all SS7 hosted services. We've been doing a lot of work with CNAM lately and have ability to send queries and analyse responses as an end user, and to receive queries and send responses as a CNAM server. It's apparent that demand for CNAM access is going unmet because SS7 access is an expensive barrier. If there were a server connected to the SS7 network, it could act as an interface to IP connected clients sending requests for CNAM dips. The CNAM server would take a simple request with little more than a phone number and return a response with a name string and other control indicators. Requests on the client side could come from * A PSTN switch connected to a local CNAM client that either satisfies the CNAM request with locally stored information or forwards the request over the Internet to a CNAM server. * A softswitch that is IP enabled. * A IP enabled web, Windows, or Linux application. The following diagram shows the network architecture of this idea. {img src=http://www.ss7box.com/xyg_images/cnam_cl_srv.jpg} !!Product Plan * Server ** Access national CNAM db (done) ** Gatekeeper comms * Client ** Receive primary dip (done) ** Secondary dip to local CNAM db ** Tertiary dip to gatekeeper * Gatekeeper ** Client comms ** Server comms ** Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) * Special project |
