Aside from the technical aspect (I did not try to use the protocol myself yet) I cannot help noticing that once again technology moves ahead quickly to solve any barriers imposed on delegation and administration of E164 number space for VoIP. The acceptance of VoIP addressing of E164 space can depend on formal bodies (like ENUM model) or in this case by the fact that the installed base of Asterisk gateways is simply able to deploy an alternative without waiting for any green light. As even ENUM acceptance was driven by Asterisk solution, I cannot see what will stop DUNDI becoming a valid alternative. Perhaps the fact that in place of, or next to, DNS servers one will need to use Asterisk servers and routing of E164 numbers to non E164 addresses will not be trivial.
