GNU Gatekeeper
GNU Gatekeeper
(GnuGk) is a feature-rich, open-source project that implements
an H.323 gatekeeper.
A H.323 gatekeeper controls all H.323 clients (endpoints like
MS Netmeeting) in his zone. Its most important function is address
translation between symbolic alias addresses and IP addresses. This way
you can call someone instead of knowing which IP address s/he currently
works on. It is an integral part of most useful internet telephony
installations that are
based on the H.323 standard.
This software allows users, among other things, to register
devices, make
calls, perform AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Auditing), manage
config at runtime and traverse NAT.
Features include:
- Graphical user interface
- Accounting and call authorization via SQL database, Radius,
file or external application
- Database drivers for ODBC, MySQL,
PostreSQL,
SQLite and
Firebird
- Flexible call routing
- Number rewriting (calling and called)
- Support for NAT traversal
- Full H.323 proxy
- TCP interface to applications
- CTI functions (eg. VOIP call-center, call transfers)
- Gatekeeper clustering support (neighbors, parent/child,
alternates)
- H.235 security
- H.460.18 and H.460.19 support
- Full IPv6 support (incl. IPv4-IPv6 proxying)
- Full traversal zone support (gatekeeper-to-gatekeeper
H.460.18 / H.460.19)
- RTP multiplexing (all calls to and from devices supporting
H.460.19 will only use 2 sockets total)
- Improved H.235 password authentication with neighbors
- Notifications when GnuGk opens listen ports
