Hans,

Guntram's comment is true in terms of the way H.323 talks about "transport addresses". However, in response to your first direct question, please note that it is not mandatory for a gatekeeper to accept any particular registration - that is up to some combination of implementation and configuration.

Regards, Chris

Hi Hans, yes, you have to map IP address + port to an alias. The H.323 standard only talks about "transport addresses" which have to be mapped. And a transport address in the IP case consists of addr+port. Guntram

Hi folks!

I just want to pin point a place on the H.323 standard that talk about the behavior of a gatekeeper on a specific scenario. My question is: Is it mandatory for a gatekeeper to accept the registration of a unit using 1 IP address and supporting mutiple H.323 endpoint (multiple ports) (i.e EP1: 192.168.0.1:2000; EP2: 192.168.0.1:2001 ... ) ? Also, is it mandatory for a gatekeeper to translate the alias of an endpoint with both its IP address & port number ?

If you could help me to point me to a section in the H.323 standard, I would appreciate it!

Regards,

Hans
