Call Management
Note. Call Management functionality for re-routing calls is not included in the
current software release. The discussion of this paragraph pertains
primarily to the general theory of gatekeeper functionality. This function
is included in plans for subsequent software releases.
The gatekeeper can keep a list of ongoing H.323 calls. This information allows
the gatekeeper to re-route calls (where possible) to balance the traffic load on
the networks.
Features
Ease of Use. The MultiVOIP Gatekeeper manages a zone, which is a
collection of MultiVOIP gateways or other H.323 devices. Multiple
gatekeepers can be configured to support several zones. For ease of use, the
MultiVOIP Gatekeeper employs an intuitive graphical user interface. End-
users can communicate using aliases (phone numbers). There’s no need to
remember complicated network addresses. Simple prefixes are used to access
gatekeeper services such as call forwarding and out-of-zone dialing.
Capacities & Capabilities by Model. Within each zone, the MultiVOIP
Gatekeeper supports a certain number of concurrent calls and registered
endpoints. The capacities and capabilities of the various embedded gatekeeper
voip units are described in the table below.

upper bandwidth used per call; and frequency of sending information
request (IRR) “keep alive” messages.
•Gatekeeper parameters
Gatekeeper registration policies; routing options; alias resolution
policies; and endpoint permissions.
