								DUNDi is essentially a trusted, peer-to-peer system for being able to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								call any phone number from the Internet.  DUNDi works by creating a
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								network of nodes called the "DUNDi E.164 Trust Group" which are bound by
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								a common peering agreement known as the General Peering Agreement or
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								GPA.  The GPA legally binds the members of the Trust Group to provide
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								good-faith accurate information to the other nodes on the network, and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								provides standards by which the community can insure the integrity of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the information on the nodes themselves.  Unlike ENUM or similar
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								systems, DUNDi is explicitly designed to preclude any necessity for a
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								single centralized system which could be a source of fees, regulation,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								etc.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								You can find the PEERING agreement in the doc directory.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Much less dramatically, DUNDi can also be used within a private
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								enterprise to share a dialplan efficiently between multiple nodes,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								without incuring a risk of a single point of failure.  In this way,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								administrators can locally add extensions which become immediately
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								available to the other nodes in the system.
