In existing telecommunications systems, many well-known communication and information services are offered by loosely coordinated entities across a large geographic region, with well- known identifiers. These services are characterized by long-term stability of user- visible identifiers, decentralized administration of the underlying service, and a well-defined resolution or mapping mechanism. A Uniform Resource Name (URN) allows us to define such global, well-known services while distributing the actual implementation across a large number of service-providing entities.

• Emergency URN—Ability to route an incoming message with SIP URNs (in Request-URI and To headers) towards the destination (next-hop). The

  determines the destination based on the URI in the Request-URI. The destination is configured in ERE or external PSX. The

  classifies an incoming call with SIP URN in Request-URI as an emergency call if the same is present in Emergency Profile (attached to ingress Trunk Group), and then translate SIP URN in Request-URI and To header to a number or user-name. The translated number is in SIP or Tel format.
• URN—Transparently passes the following headers/parameters in INVITE, In-Dialog REFER and other OOD requests:
  • Request-URI and To headers in SIP URN format.
  • URN used in P-Preferred-Service, P-Asserted-Service headers and unknown headers by enabling unknown header transparency.
  • URNs in Accept-Contact by enabling transparency flag.
  • URN as a parameter in Request Line, To Header, and Contact Header in both request and responses by enabling Request-URI/To/Contact Header transparency.
• SIP URN in Refer-To header of a REFER message—When the

  relays it towards the ingress leg.
• Recursion handling of 3xx response for a MESSAGE—This is similar to 3xx recursion handling of 3xx response for INVITE message.
• SIP URN in Gateway-to-Gateway signaling (SBC-to-SBC)—For gateway signaling between the

  and GSX9000, SIP URNs are translated to SIP/TEL before forwarding to the GSX9000.
