+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.
+
+Much less dramatically, DUNDi can also be used within a private
+enterprise to share a dialplan efficiently between multiple nodes,
+without incurring 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.
