Intra Service Provider Port – Port to Original

Origination Date :07/25/1997

Originator:ESI / AT&T

Description:

Some confusion has occurred regarding support of porting to original in an intra-service provider port. The FRS in section 5.1.2.2.1.2 Subscription Version Creation - Intra-Service Provider Port states the following: “This section provides the Subscription Version Creation requirements for performing an Intra-Service Provider port of a TN. An Intra-Service Provider port of a TN is when a TN is ported to a new location within the current Service Provider network (i.e., the routing data is modified, but the Service Provider remains the same). A port to original port for an Intra-Service Provider port should be handled by a requesting user via submission of a Disconnect request to the NPAC SMS. Requirement R5-15.2 “Create “porting to original” Subscription Version - New Service Provider Input Data” states the following about the port to original flag: NPAC SMS shall require the following data from NPAC personnel or the new Service Provider upon Subscription Version creation for an Inter-Service Provider “porting to original” port: Porting to original – flag indicating whether or not this is a “porting to original” port. This flag must be set to “TRUE” for “porting to original” port. There is no mention of this field in the intra-service provider port section.

Final Resolution:

Support of port to original porting for intra-service provider porting has been requested. This change has been targeted for release 3.

The group felt that the current process in place (use of disconnect) was sufficient.

Bellcore and AT&T to review during the delete pending timeframe.

Pending DELETE as of 1/6/98.
