A system for providing E.164 number mapping (ENUM) translation, the system comprising:
- an ENUM database for maintaining associations between session initiation protocol (SIP) identifiers and call party identifiers;
- and
- a signaling router for receiving a first bearer independent call control (BICC) signaling message that includes a first call party identifier, for obtaining, from the ENUM database, a SIP identifier associated with the first call party identifier, for generating a first SIP signaling message that includes the SIP identifier, and for routing the first SIP signaling message to a destination SIP node.
