ENUM in everyday practice - is it a dream or an opportunity

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to elaborate on Electronic NUmber Mapping (ENUM) technology. In the introduction, the role of ENUM is presented. Afterwards an ENUM measuring method is introduced, and several determining parameters are identified and it is shown how these parameters influence the performance of ENUM. The closing part shows overall ENUM and DNS performance parameters, apart from the DNS server raw performance. Finally, as a sanity check, the Hungarian voice communication profile is compared with the measured ENUM performance
