Gatekeeper Call Routing

Calls are routed through the gatekeeper as follows:

Inbound call to Cisco Unified CallManager zone from other gatekeepers—Routed to the registered Cisco Unified CallManager Gatekeeper-controlled H.225 intercluster trunks within the Cisco Unified CallManager zone in a Round Robin distribution algorithm using the Default Technology prefix.

Outbound call from Cisco Unified CallManager zone to other gatekeepers—Normal gatekeeper call routing using location request.

Inbound Call to MCU zone from other gatekeepers—Routed out to the registered Cisco Unified CallManager gatekeeper-controlled H.225 intercluster trunks within the Cisco Unified CallManager zone in a round robin distribution algorithm using the Default Technology prefix. Then routed by Cisco Unified CallManager directly to the MCU via its H.323 gateway.

Outbound call from MCU—Routed to Cisco Unified CallManager via the MCU dedicated H.225 gatekeeper-controlled trunks that are registered to the MCU zone.

Outbound call from H.323 endpoints—Routed to Cisco Unified CallManager via RasAggregator H.225 trunk.

Inbound call from other Gatekeepers to H.323 endpoints—Call is first routed out the Registered Cisco Unified CallManager gatekeeper-controlled H.225 trunk within the Cisco Unified CallManager zone in a round robin distribution algorithm using the Default Technology prefix. It is then routed back to the gatekeeper video endpoint zone via the RasAggregator trunk.

Inbound call from MCUs to H.323 endpoints—Call is first routed to Cisco Unified CallManager via the MCU dedicated H.225 gatekeeper-controlled trunks that are registered to the MCU zone. It is then routed back to the Gatekeeper Video endpoint zone via the RasAggregator trunk.

Inbound call from Cisco Unified Videoconferencing gateway—Call is routed to the registered Cisco Unified CallManager gatekeeper. The gatekeeper receives an admission request from the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing gateway, and the gatekeeper replies with an admission confirm to send the call to Cisco Unified CallManager via the RasAggregator trunk.
