Measures reported by FTMGH323ProclTest

The Forefront TMG includes a H.323 protocol filter which allows multimedia enriched applications like Microsoft Windows NetMeeting® to place calls through the H.323Gatekeeper filter. NetMeeting allows you to video conference use an electronic white board, exchange files, text chat and have voice conversations with two or more parties. If the firewall is H.323 compliant then you will be able to place these calls through it. Most new video conference systems comply with this standard and have had huge success over Microsoft networks. H.323 protocol filter does not directly allow clients to communicate directly with their peers and acts as a true proxy. This method protects the integrity of your network making it more secure and avoiding personal attacks on unsuspecting users.
