Hi.

Currently a customer have 4 VoIP Gateways register to a gatekeeper. Each of
the VoIP Gateways are in a different zone (i.e. zones) on the gatekeeper. Is
there a way to specify CallAdmision control between 2 specific sites?

For example customer wants from Site-1 to Site-2 3 calls and from Site-1 to
Site-3 4 calls and from Site-1 to Site-4 1 call.

Can we be this granular with the CAC on the gatekeeper? I know we can do CAC
from one zone to all remaining zones but is there a command to be granular
on zone per zone..  If not what is the best practice in order to accomplish
the above requirement? Currently most of the sites are connected in a fully
mesh topology but some of them are not directly connected.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advanced.

Thanks Charles, but how does it work? Let say that the customer has only 1
Gatekeeper managing 4 local zones (one gateway in each zone).. how do you
configure the bandwidth per two zone? For example:

1. From Zone 1 to Zone 2 the customer would like to have only 4 concurrent
calls because of bw constraints.

2. From Zone 1 to Zone 3 the customer would like 10 calls

3. From Zone 1 to Zone 4 the customer would like 8 calls

4. From Zone 2 to Zone 3 the customer would like 5 calls

5. From Zone 2 to Zone 4 the customer would like 10 calls

6. From Zone 3 to Zone 4 the customer would like 5 calls..

Can  I be that specific on the gatekeeper? Because the "bandwidth interzone"
command would restrict bandwidth for local zone to all other zones.. but not
to specific zones.. or I am missing something?

Please advise.

And there is no way using the gatekeeper to be that specific on CAC? Like
zone 1 to zone 2 and zone 1 to zone 3 and so on? If not what is the best way
to accomplish that? If it is possible.

What are the best practices? The problem I'm facing is that the customer
would like to restrict calls zone per zone. and not calls from every zone to
just one zone.

Any ideas?
