The use of gatekeepers provides both inbound and outbound call admission
control. With Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(5), a maximum of 100
Cisco CallManagers can register with a gatekeeper. This method of call admission
control is restricted to a single active gatekeeper per network. Redundancy can be
achieved using the Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) between two
gatekeepers.
Gatekeeper call admission control is a policy-based scheme. It requires static
configuration of available resources and is not aware of network topology. It is,
therefore, necessary to restrict gatekeeper call admission control schemes to
hub-and-spoke topologies with the redundant gatekeeper or gatekeepers (using
HSRP) located at the hub. The WAN must be provisioned accordingly, and the
voice priority queue must be dimensioned to support all admitted calls.
Figure 3-8 illustrates this deployment model.
