A Gatekeeper is used on an H323 network to provide user registration and call routing capabilities analogous to the SIP Server on a SIP network. It also lets network managers set policies and control network resources such as bandwidth utilization. An H323 Gatekeeper is necessary in order to provide routing on an H323 VoIPTalk network.

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 “jan” instead of knowing which IP address he currently works on.
