Gatekeeper Zone Bandwidth Summary

Gatekeeper CAC works well in network designs where the desire is to limit the number of calls between sites. This may be required due to either bandwidth limitations or business policy. If bandwidth limitations are on the WAN links, manual calculations can be performed to translate the maximum number of calls allowed between sites into a bandwidth figure that will cause the gatekeeper to deny calls when the calculated number is exceeded.

Gatekeepers do not share database information. If the primary gatekeeper fails, a secondary gatekeeper can begin to perform CAC for the network; however, the secondary gatekeeper has no knowledge of the amount of bandwidth currently used in the zone or the true number of active voice conversations. Until the secondary gatekeeper has an accurate count of current calls and consumed bandwidth, the network may become oversubscribed with voice conversations. If alternate gatekeepers are used as the redundancy method, this problem is circumvented.

A major advantage of gatekeeper CAC is that it is the only CAC method that can incorporate mixed networks of Cisco IOS gateways and CallManagers with IP Phones.

Table 8-18 evaluates the gatekeeper zone bandwidth mechanism against the CAC evaluation criteria described earlier in this chapter.
