Jump to navigation Jump to search

ENUM is basically a mapping mechanism to map Telco number, such as, +628113334567 or +62555334567, to a number recognize in VoIP network such as, 20333@voiprakyat.or.id or 5007987@fwd.pulver.com. Thus, in principle, ENUM is merely a table.

ENUM is not limited to mapping only. ENUM recognize prioritizing. For example, a phone number +6255534567 may have several client with priority, such as,

+6255534567		priority 1	245678@voiprakyat.or.id
+6255534567		priority 2	6543686@fwd.pulver.com
+6255534567		priority 3	+62215678976 (nomor kantor)
+6255534567		priority 4	+62856789654 (nomor handphone)
+6255534567		priority 5	mail:oknum@salemba.co.id

The actual writing of ENUM on the Internet, for example using the top level domain e164.id, is as follows,

+6255512345678		8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.5.5.5.2.6.e164.id
+6281812345678		8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.8.1.8.2.6.e164.id

Please note that the ENUM number is reversed as oppose to the known normal phone number.
