About a year ago, I informed Cisco that various pieces of  documentation detailing the GB number plan were inaccurate, incomplete,  and out of date.

The majority of the published data seemed to be from some time  back between 2003 and 2006, but with a substantial number of additional errors and inaccuracies and certainly not up to date.

It has taken many months to get the documentation amended with the correct information, but  those changes do not appear to have made it back into the software.

I have recently seen a copy of the cisco GB number plan version 18 'dp-ffr.1-1-18.GB.exe', 'dp-ffr.1-1-18.GB.cop.sgn', 'dp-ffr.2-1-18.GB.cop.sgn' and 'dp-ffr.3-1-18.GB.cop.sgn', released only a few weeks ago, and that still has the same and many other errors included.

The faulty GB number plan file is as detailed at:

Visit the above pages, mouseover the details there, then look for the 'flat pattern file' link in the popup box, specifically:

http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074292/51298/GBNP.txt

This file contains a large number of errors.

I enclose the original and a corrected version of the 'flat pattern file'. The corrected version has dozens of fixes detailed within.

This file contains a large number of errors.

Just an update on this guys, cisco released the latest GBNP version 28 on the 24th of April. Most of Ian's suggestions have been implemented...Here is the link for the new Dial Plan

I'll take a look at it shortly. It won't take long to proof-read the flat pattern file.

If I find any errors in the file, I'll start a new thread and link it from this one.

I will be using the old file based on version 18, linked below, as a comparison (it fixes the unwanted duplication discussed in an earlier post):

I have found a few typos in the new file, and that's annoying because I offered to proof-read the new file way back on January 21st.
