1.  Introduction

  This document describes an E.164 number mapping for version 1.0 of
  the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP).  This mapping, an
  extension of the domain name mapping described in [1], is specified
  using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0, as described in [2],
  and XML Schema notation, as described in [3] and [4].

  The EPP core protocol specification [5] provides a complete
  description of EPP command and response structures.  A thorough
  understanding of the base protocol specification is necessary to
  understand the mapping described in this document.

RFC 4114                   EPP E.164 Mapping                   June 2005


  ENUM [6] describes how the Domain Name System (DNS) can be used to
  identify services associated with an E.164 number.  The EPP mapping
  described in this document specifies a mechanism for the provisioning
  and management of E.164 numbers stored in a shared central
  repository.  Information exchanged via this mapping can be extracted
  from the repository and used to publish DNS resource records as
  described in ENUM [6].  Examples used in this document were chosen
  specifically to illustrate provisioning concepts for the example
  resource records described in the ENUM specification.

1.1.  Conventions Used in This Document

  The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
  "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
  document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [7].

  In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client, and
  "S:" represents lines returned by a protocol server.  Indentation and
  white space in examples are only provided to illustrate element
  relationships and are not a REQUIRED feature of this specification.

  XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
  and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
  character case presented to develop a conforming implementation.

2.  Object Attributes

  This extension adds elements to the EPP domain name mapping [1].
  Only new element descriptions are described here.

2.1.  E.164 Domain Names

  An E.164 domain name is a representation of an E.164 number that has
  been translated to conform to domain name syntax, as described in the
  ENUM specification [6].  The labels used to describe the name space
  of an E.164 domain name are a policy matter that is beyond the scope
  of this document.

2.2.  NAPTR Fields

  According to ENUM [6], Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) resource
  records are used to identify available ways for contacting a specific
  node identified by a domain name created from the translation of an
  E.164 number.  The basic NAPTR record format is described in RFC 3403
  [8].  Rules for structuring and using NAPTR records for use with ENUM
  are described in RFC 3761 [6].

RFC 4114                   EPP E.164 Mapping                   June 2005


  Several NAPTR field values are optional per RFC 3403.  RFC 3761
  describes processing rules that require the presence of certain NAPTR
  field values.  This document describes field value requirements that
  correspond to RFC 3761.

2.2.1.  Order

  The NAPTR order field, a 16-bit unsigned integer, is represented in
  this mapping using the XML Schema "unsignedShort" data type.

2.2.2.  Preference

  The NAPTR preference field, a 16-bit unsigned integer, is represented
  in this mapping using the XML Schema "unsignedShort" data type.

2.2.3.  Flags

  The NAPTR flags field is represented in this mapping using a single
  character.  The case of the flag character is not significant.

2.2.4.  Service

  The NAPTR service field is represented in this mapping using a
  character string with an unspecified maximum length.  Valid values
  are application-dependent.

2.2.5.  Regular Expression

  The NAPTR regexp field is represented in this mapping using a
  character string with an unspecified maximum length.  This field can
  contain numerous backslashes and should thus be treated with care.

2.2.6.  Replacement

  The NAPTR replacement field, whose value is a domain name, is
  represented in this mapping using a character string with a maximum
  length of 255 characters.

3.  EPP Command Mapping

  A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
  in the EPP core protocol specification [5].  The command mappings
  described here are specifically for use in implementing ENUM
  provisioning processes via EPP.

RFC 4114                   EPP E.164 Mapping                   June 2005


3.1.  EPP Query Commands

  EPP provides three commands to retrieve object information: <check>
  to determine if an object is known to the server, <info> to retrieve
  detailed information associated with an object, and <transfer> to
  retrieve object transfer status information.

3.1.1.  EPP <check> Command

  This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <check> command
  or <check> response described in the EPP domain mapping [1].

3.1.2.  EPP <info> Command

  This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <info> command
  described in the EPP domain mapping [1].  Additional elements are
  defined for the <info> response.

  When an <info> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
  <resData> element MUST contain child elements as described in the EPP
  domain mapping [1].  In addition, the EPP <extension> element MUST
  contain a child <e164:infData> element that identifies the extension
  namespace and the location of the extension schema.  The <e164:
  infData> element contains one or more <e164:naptr> elements that
  contain the following child elements:

  -  An <e164:order> element that contains a NAPTR order value.

  -  An <e164:pref> element that contains a NAPTR preference value.

  -  An OPTIONAL <e164:flags> element that contains a NAPTR flags
     value.

  -  An <e164:svc> element that contains a NAPTR service value.

  -  An OPTIONAL <e164:regex> element that contains a NAPTR regular
     expression value.

  -  An OPTIONAL <e164:replacement> element that contains a NAPTR
     replacement value.

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if an extended <info> command
  can not be processed for any reason.

3.1.3.  EPP <transfer> Command

  This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer>
  command or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain mapping
  [1].

3.2.  EPP Transform Commands

  EPP provides five commands to transform objects: <create> to create
  an instance of an object, <delete> to delete an instance of an
  object, <renew> to extend the validity period of an object,
  <transfer> to manage object sponsorship changes, and <update> to
  change information associated with an object.

3.2.1.  EPP <create> Command

  This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <create>
  command described in the EPP domain mapping [1].  No additional
  elements are defined for the EPP <create> response.

  The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
  client to create a domain object.  In addition to the EPP command
  elements described in the EPP domain mapping [1], the command MUST
  contain an <extension> element.  The <extension> element MUST contain
  a child <e164:create> element that identifies the extension namespace
  and the location of the extension schema.  The <e164:create> element

RFC 4114                   EPP E.164 Mapping                   June 2005


  The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
  client to change the state of a domain object.  In addition to the
  EPP command elements described in the EPP domain mapping [1], the
  <update> command MUST contain an <extension> element.  The
  <extension> element MUST contain a child <e164:update> element that
  identifies the extension namespace and the location of the extension
  schema.  The <e164:update> element contains one or more <e164:add> or
  <e164:rem> elements.  Each <e164:add> and <e164:rem> element contains
  an <e164:naptr> element that contains the following child elements:

  -  An <e164:order> element that contains a NAPTR order value.

  -  An <e164:pref> element that contains a NAPTR preference value.

  -  An OPTIONAL <e164:flags> element that contains a NAPTR flags
     value.

  -  An <e164:svc> element that contains a NAPTR service value.

  -  An OPTIONAL <e164:regex> element that contains a NAPTR regular
     expression value.

  -  An OPTIONAL <e164:replacement> element that contains a NAPTR
     replacement value.

4.  Formal Syntax

  An EPP object mapping is specified in XML Schema notation.  The
  formal syntax presented here is a complete schema representation of
  the object mapping suitable for automated validation of EPP XML
  instances.  The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they
  are used to note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI
  registration purposes.

5.  Internationalization Considerations

  EPP is represented in XML, which provides native support for encoding
  information using the Unicode character set and its more compact
  representations, including UTF-8 [10].  Conformant XML processors
  recognize both UTF-8 and UTF-16 [11].  Though XML includes provisions
  to identify and use other character encodings through use of an
  "encoding" attribute in an <?xml?> declaration, use of UTF-8 is
  RECOMMENDED in environments where parser encoding support
  incompatibility exists.

  As an extension of the EPP domain mapping [1], the elements, element
  content, attributes, and attribute values described in this document
  MUST inherit the internationalization conventions used to represent
  higher-layer domain and core protocol structures present in an XML
  instance that includes this extension.

6.  IANA Considerations

  This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
  conforming to a registry mechanism described in RFC 3688 [9].  Two
  URI assignments have been completed by the IANA:

  Registration for the extension namespace:

     URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:e164epp-1.0

     Registrant Contact: IESG

     XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.

  Registration for the extension XML schema:

     URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:e164epp-1.0

     Registrant Contact: IESG

     XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.

7.  Security Considerations

  The mapping extensions described in this document do not provide any
  security services beyond those described by EPP [5], the EPP domain
  name mapping [1], and protocol layers used by EPP.  Security
  considerations related to ENUM are described in the "Security
  Considerations" section of the ENUM specification [6]; security
  considerations related to the Dynamic Delegation Discovery System and
  NAPTR records are described in the "Security Considerations" section

  of RFC 3403 [8].  The security considerations described in these
  specifications apply to this specification as well.

  As with other domain object transforms, the EPP transform operations
  described in this document MUST be restricted to the sponsoring
  client as authenticated using the mechanisms described in sections
  2.9.1.1 and 7 of RFC 3730 [5].  Any attempt to perform a transform
  operation on a domain object by any client other than the sponsoring
  client MUST be rejected with an appropriate EPP authorization error.
