Current Activities

Recommendation A.1

The IMTC Universal Multimedia Addressing Platform (UMMAP) Recommendation A.1 defines a set of addressing guidelines which ensure that any multimedia conferencing user or system can be uniquely identified and signaled on the Internet. The overarching goal is that any user can be reached at an address, regardless of the source or destination of the call, or the source, destination or intermediate signaling protocols in use.

Ongoing Efforts

Discussion of how to integrate various dialing schemes (E.164, GDS, SIP, URI, IHETS, URL) and services (LDAP, H.350, DNS, ENUM) into a common, universal system for addressing endpoints in the network, regardless of network type.

ViDe is coordinating an interoperability and interconnection project as a 'running code' project within UMMAP to connect the ViDe.net network to other private and public video networks. The goal is transparent dialing using GDS between endpoints.
