3.6.1 Bandwidth Control and Firewall Traversal

When a Border Controller and Gatekeeper are being used to traverse a firewall, an additional
zone and subzone come into use.

The traversal zone is used to represent the zone containing the Border Controller this
Gatekeeper is paired with. This zone is automatically added for you. The traversal subzone
represents the Gatekeeper itself. When an endpoint registers with the Gatekeeper and places
a traversal call, its media will be routed through the Gatekeeper
