Advance Internet Caller-ID Delivery Service
draft-slutsman-aicd-02

Abstract

The Internet Call Waiting (ICW) has recently become a standard 'check-list' service offered by many Telecommunications providers such as Nortel and Lucent. While differing in many details, all these schemes rely on the LEC provider ability to detect and signal the 'busy-line' state. This signal triggers the execution of the service logic that provides the desirable effect. As a result, the Internet Call Waiting is most meaningful when offered by LEC [6] but of limited interest for long-distance providers, such as AT&T, MCI, etc. In the broader prospective, ICW may be considered a member of the class of services that manage incoming calls by making use of an Internet connection. Of special interest the Long Distance Providers is a specific subclass of services that 'by-passes' LEC; the purpose of this paper is to begin the discussion of what can be implemented when LEC services are either not available or not desirable. To this end we introduce a service--Advance Internet Caller-ID Delivery Service--that comes 'close' to ICW and yet, does not rely on the terminating LEC. In addition, this service related to the PINT 'click-to-dial' service and could make use of the PINT protocol. The rest of this document is as follows: Section 2 describes the service offered to the end Subscriber. Section 3 describes the architecture requirements to support the Advance Intenet Calle-ID Delivery Service. Section 4 descibes the call flows for typical scenarios. Sections 5 and 6 respectively supply referneces and provide the author address.
