[VoiceOps] RPID vs. PAI

[John S. Robinson]

I agree with the previous two respondents.   RPID should have been dead 
a long time ago. PAI is supposed to be the new normal.

In addition, you need to consider STIR / SHAKEN  if you are in the 
business of sending calls to the USA or Canada where the calling number 
purports to be from the USA or Canada.  STIR / SHAKEN is the laws.  
Regulations in the USA and Canada require  the originating carrier must 
digitally sign and attest the validity of the calling number in the PAI 
header.  RPID is obsolete. Originating Carriers must be either signing 
calls, or engaging in other steps as they pursue the ability to sign.   
Additional scrutiny applies to International Gateways for calls to the USA.

Evidently your correspondent is unaware of  SS requirements, or they 
wouldn't be talking about RPID.   This is serious stuff. The FCC is 
handing out record level fines.  If you would like further discussion, 
please contact me directly
