1. Introduction
ENUM (E.164 Number Mapping, RFC 3761 [2]) is a system that transforms
E.164 numbers [3] into domain names and then uses DNS (Domain Name
Service, RFC 1034 [4]) services like delegation through NS records
and NAPTR records to look up what services are available for a
specific domain name.
This document registers Enumservices according to the guidelines
given in RFC 3761 to be used for provisioning in the services field
of a NAPTR [5] resource record to indicate what class of
functionality a given endpoint offers. The registration is defined
within the DDDS (Dynamic Delegation Discovery System [6][7][5][8][9])
hierarchy, for use with the "E2U" DDDS Application defined in RFC
3761.
The following Enumservices are registered with this document:
"email", "fax", "sms", "ems", and "mms". These share a common
feature in that they each indicate that the functionality of the
given endpoints and the associated resources are capable of receiving
discrete messages, albeit of different types.
According to RFC 3761, the Enumservice registered must be able to
function as a selection mechanism when choosing one NAPTR resource
record from another. That means that the registration MUST specify

what is expected when using that very NAPTR record, and the Uniform
Resource Identifier (URI) scheme that is the outcome of the use of
it.
Therefore, an Enumservice acts as a hint, indicating the kind of
service with which the URI constructed using the regexp field is
associated. There can be more than one Enumservice included within a
