Why would you use media flow-around?

You use media flow-around mode when you are not concerned with hiding your address. Because the IPIPGW is only involved in call setup and does not have to process media streams, more calls can be supported.

What is needed to implement an IPIPGW?

You need a supported router platform, an IPIPGW Cisco IOS image, and an integrated voice video feature license to implement an IPIPGW.

What is a via-zone?

A via-zone is a local zone that has been dedicated to only service IPIPGWs. Although it is not necessary to have a dedicated zone for the IPIPGW, it is often much simpler to troubleshoot networks in which we have an dedicated IPIPGW zone.

Under what circumstances is a DSP needed in an IPIPGW call?
