Product Description
Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers provides detailed solutions to real-world problems encountered when implementing a VoIP network. Each chapter presents an overview of a technology followed by a detailed scenario and associated solutions. Emphasis is placed on the accepted best practices and common issues encountered. It will initially serve readers as a reference for complex gateway and gatekeeper deployments and will also be a valuable study aid for the Cisco Certifified Voice Professional (CCVP) certification track. Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers is divided into five sections. Part one provides an introduction to the roles of both gateways and gatekeepers and includes advice on when to use each. Part two focuses on deploying gateways; working with MGCP, H.323, and SIP; connecting to the PSTN, PBXs, and the IP WAN; configuring basic and advanced dial peers; and implementing SRST. Part Three focuses on deploying and configuring gatekeepers. Part four discusses use of gateways and gatekeepers in a service provider environment. Part five addresses use of the Cisco Tool Command Language (TCL). This book is also recommended self-study training for the CCVP GWGK exam.

Very good book October 6, 2008
This a very good book. Even the examples are fully configured.
It has a good balance of theory and practice, wich is sometimews dificult to find in technical books.
Best Cisco book in GW and GK (and the only one by now).
Recommended.
A useful book with real life case studies June 18, 2008
An excellent book! but if the author can put all the configurations online, and make the scinarios more realistic with more practical exercises, this would be a masterpiece in this area. It is much better than other Cisco CCVP books in many respects. Thank you, the authors, who took readers into consideration when writing this book!
Excellent Coverage of Cisco IOS Gateways and Gatekeepers May 12, 2008
I picked up a copy of "Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers" to use as a study guide for the Implementing Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers (642-453 GWGK). This book was enormously helpful in successfully passing the exam. With that said, this is not an official Cisco Press exam study guide, in fact it cover much more, and was also beneficial to me in passing the CCIE Voice written.
As with most Cisco Press books, the opening chapter covers some basics, in this case the basics of Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers, as well as a high level review of gateway protocols and deployment scenarios.
The subsequent chapters jump right into the meat of the material. Each ensuing chapter covers each topic, such as H.323, SIP, MGCP, Dial Plans, and SRST with great depth and clarity. The book if full of very detailed and comprehensive sample configurations and debug outputs. Finally, the examples throughout the book are based off of the same case study network that is introduced in the opening chapter. As I consider sitting for the CCIE Voice Lab, I anticipate that I will revisit this book again and use the case study in my home lab.
I highly recommend this book to any looking to learning more about Cisco IOS Gateways and Gatekeepers, studying for the CCVP, and/or preparing for the CCIE Voice!

A godsend February 11, 2008
As a person studying for my Voice CCIE, this book is invaluable. It covers a wide range of topics in a coherent, well-articulated fashion. After perusing this book, I finally figured out exactly what an IPIPGW was and how exactly it worked with a VIA gatekeeper.
If you are studying for you Voice CCIE, do yourself a favor and pick up this book.
Excellent Reference Book on Complex VoIP Networks December 15, 2006
This book is intended for network engineers, IP Telephony engineers, and Telco engineers who are tasked with the installation, configuration, and maintenance of VoIP and IP Telephony networks. This is an intermediate level book and that the reader understands IP networking and at least is familiar with the Cisco courses: CVoice, CIPT, QoS, IPTT. These imply a basic understanding of VoIP and time-division multiplexing (TDM) voice fundamentals, the basic concepts and configuration of basic IP voice routers and Cisco CallManager basics.
This book is not so much an Exam Cram as a more traditional reference book. That is not to say that it doesn't cover the material that will be found on several Cisco certification tests. It gives a firm foundation in the complex VoIP networks that in which Cisco specializes. Obviously this book covers Cisco equipment, but as Cisco is the major manufacturer of such equipment as well as providing for the certification of workers in the field, that's not a bad place to start.
This book has the advantage of a very good writing style by the three authors. This is important as I don't find computer books to be nearly as much fun to read as say a good sci-fi novel.
