> Abstract
>
> A large H.323 network may consist of multiple zones. A H.323 zone can be
> physical or logical. H.323 signaling messages such as location, zone,
> admission, bandwidth, discovery, registration, and others may have to
> travel multiple gatekeepers between the source-destination path because
> the first receiving gatekeeper may have to send to other gatekeepers to
> process these messages.
>
> This contribution facilitates the inter-gatekeeper communications with
> distributed gatekeeper architecture through extension of the existing
> H.323 signaling messages. Three new fields that need to be used to extend
> the signaling message sets are pathValue, endpointType, and
> gatekeeperIdentifier. This simple extension in the H.323 signaling message
> set will satisfy the needs for inter-gatekeeper communications. The source
> gatekeeper will route the message to destination gatekeeper knowing the
> address table for the destination entities it serves. However, it is left
> up to the implementation of the lower network layer how the routing
> capabilities (e.g., intradomain and interdomain routing protocols) to be
> used between the gatekeepers to route the messages since every gatekeeper
> will have a network level address, and the routing scheme between the
> gatekeepers have not been addressed in this contribution. The proposed
> inter-gatekeeper communications model is expected to provide scalability
> in view of the large-scale H.323 network. In addition, this contribution
> not only complements the existing H.323 signaling message sets, it also
> complements all other schemes that have been proposed so far for the
> inter-gatekeeper communications.
