RFC 3299                  Summary of 3200-3299             December 2003

                                        Network (PSTN/IN) Requesting
                                        InTernet Service (SPIRITS)
                                        Protocol Requirements

This document describes the SPIRITS protocol requirements, based on the
architecture presented in RFC 3136.  (SPIRITS stands for "Service in the
PSTN/IN Requesting InTernet Service".)  The purpose of the protocol is
to support services that originate in the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) and necessitate the interactions between the PSTN and the
Internet.  Similarly, such services are called SPIRITS services.
(Internet Call Waiting, Internet Caller-ID Delivery, and Internet Call
Forwarding are examples of SPIRIT services, but the protocol is to
define the building blocks from which many other services can be built.)
On the PSTN side, the SPIRITS services are initiated from the
Intelligent Network (IN) entities; the earlier IETF work on the
PSTN/Internet Interworking (PINT) resulted in the protocol (RFC 2848) in
support of the services initiated the other way around--from the
Internet to PSTN.

To this end, this document lists general requirements for the SPIRITS
protocol as well as those pertinent to IN, Wireless IN, and PINT
building blocks.  The document also presents the SPIRITS WG consensus on
the choice of the SPIRITS signaling protocol.  This memo provides
information for the Internet community.
