Voice Gateway & Gatekeeper On a single Router?

[dmh070853]

Hello All,

Has anyone had experience with putting voice gateway and voice gatekeeper functionality into one router? We will have three clusters initially (with about 1,000 users worldwide though) and was considering one gatekeeper per cluster for CAC and tail end hop off routing for LD/International calls.

Any guidance on what sort of platform these should be running on if kept separate? DSP resources in them, etc.?

The voice gateways will be a mixture of 2851 and 3800 series routers. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks,

Dave

What versions of IOS are you using in the routers ?

Hi,

It will be 12.4 something or other. I think they are up to 12.4(8)T now. I'm not at the site right now.

Hi,

I have done this many times in lab, dont know if that will be ok in production if you have a good powerfull problem i dont think that it will be a problem.

About the DSP's maybe you can use the DSP calculator - anyway this refers to many parameters on the network.

BR,

Teo
