Cisco UBE can act as a proxy for H.323 and SIP (proxy signaling)
Media flow-through (default): All media streams are routed through
the Cisco UBE
– Solves IP interworking issues
– Hides IP original addresses
– Enables tighter security policies
Media flow-around: Media streams flow directly between
endpoints.

Cisco UBE can use standard Cisco IOS gateway RSVP call
support.
Enables RSVP-based CAC:
– Cisco Unified Communications Manager intercluster RSVP-
based CAC
– Support for voice and video calls
Requirements:
– Two Cisco UBEs used as RSVP peers
– Media-flow through to ensure that the reserved path is used

Cisco UBE can register with a gatekeeper like any other Cisco
IOS gateway.
– The gatekeeper and Cisco UBE may be deployed on the same
router.
Cisco UBE can also be used by gatekeepers using via-zones.
– A via-zone is a Cisco term for a zone that contains Cisco UBE
and via-zone-enabled gatekeepers.
– The via-zone-enabled gatekeeper is capable of recognizing
via-zones and sending traffic to via-zone gateways.
– Via-zones are usually located on the edge of an enterprise or
Internet telephony service provider network, and are like a
VoIP transfer point, or tandem zone, where traffic passes
through on the way to the remote zone destination.
