Ø Transition from PSTN to IP

· PSTN to IP transition effects on LNP continue to be an ongoing agenda item for the LNPA WG.

· The ATIS/SIP NNI Joint Task Force IP Interconnection Routing Report was reviewed.

· The IP-NNI Routing Technical Report documents mechanisms for identifying the preferred IP interconnection point for a given TN.

· This report presents multiple views of current IP interconnection mechanisms based on aggregate PSTN constructs, interim solutions based on all-IP routing using a per-TN registry, and a consideration of hybrid approaches across both mechanisms during the transition to all-IP.
