An H.323 network is made of several components, such as end points or terminals, a gateway, and a a multipoint control unit. This is used to bridge videoconferencing calls, and it includes a multipoint controller for call signaling, and a multipoint processor to mix, encode, and switch streams. Then there's the gatekeeper and a back-end service which holds information about terminals, configuration, and billing. The gatekeepers are very useful as they serve as a bridge between the H.323 network and the outside world. The gatekeepers provide address resolution and bandwidth control.
