Embedded Gatekeepers
Some of Cisco’s videoconferencing systems, the IP/VC products, come with
embedded, or built-in gatekeepers.These are ideal for small networks, and perform
all of the required gatekeeper functionality (address translation, admissions
control, and bandwidth control).
The embedded gatekeeper is compatible with the MCM gatekeeper.Thus, for
larger networks, you can have the embedded gatekeeper interoperate with MCM,
or simply have the IP/VC products register directly with one of your MCM
gatekeepers.
