several gatekeepers

Wolfgang,

It is definitely possible that there may be multiple routed Gatekeepers
involved in the call.  There are several examples in the H.323 document
which show where the calling and called parties each have a Gatekeeper that
routes call signaling.  However, it is also possible to have routed
Gatekeeper or other entity routing call signaling, such as Border Elements
that possess the ability to route call signaling on the edge of an
administrative domain.

During call transfer, the routed gatekeeper(s) may or may not act upon the
H.450 messages-- that's up to the implementer.  It is certainly legal either
way.

Best Regards,
Paul
