Configuring H.323
H.323 is an application-layer control protocol for establishing and terminating multimedia sessions with
one or more participants. H.323 can dynamically adjust and modify session attributes, such as required
session bandwidth, media type (voice and video), encoding/decoding format of media, and support for
broadcast.
H.323 uses the Client/Server model to establish calls through communication between the gateway and
gatekeeper.
H.323, a packet-based multimedia communications system, is an ITU-T standard that specifies the
components, protocols, and procedures that provide multimedia communication services over an IP
network that does not provide guaranteed quality of service (QoS). As one of the standards for VoIP,
H.323 has long been used by traditional carriers and network device manufacturers in their VoIP
solutions.
As shown in Figure 65, the
H.323 stack is implemented at the application layer. The H.323 standard
includes these protocols:
• H.225.0, including Q.931 and registration, administration and status (RAS) protocol, and H.245
for signaling control
• G.711, G.729, G.723.1, and G.723.A for audio codec
• H.261 and H.263 for video codec
• T.120 series (including T.123, T.124, T.125, T.126, T.127, and T.324) for multimedia data transmission.
The real-time transport protocol (RTP) provides end-to-end real-time audio and video delivery services. Its
functionality is enhanced through its control protocol, the real-time transport control protocol (RTCP). The
primary function of RTCP is to provide feedback on the quality of data distribution, which allows the
application system to accommodate to different network conditions and helps with fault location and
diagnosis as well. These two protocols work together to ensure real-time voice transmission.

ITU-T RAS is implemented in compliance with the H.323v2 protocol for communication between
gateway and gatekeeper. RAS adopts the communication model where a gateway sends requests and
the gatekeeper responds with confirms or rejects listed in the following table.
