GNU Gatekeeper and SIP

Can I use a SIP Phone with with GnuGk ?

Since H.323 and SIP are incompatible Voice-over-IP protocols, you can't use SIP phones directly. However there are gateways that bridge between SIP and H.323.

Packetizer has a feature-by-feature comparison between H.323 and SIP.

H.323 / SIP Gateways

Note: All OpenSource gateways only support audio, not video.

Asterisk (OpenSource Linux PBX that supports both SIP and H.323), also see the notes on using Asterisk as H.323 / SIP gateway

Yate (includes SIP to H.323 translation)

FreeSWITCH (OpenSource soft-switch including H.323 to SIP conversion)
