Decommissioning of the GWDG's two H.323 gatekeepers as of March 31, 2025

H.323 video conferencing systems have been in use for many years and have proven themselves primarily as group video conferencing systems. At the Göttingen site, however, they have now been replaced by video conferencing solutions such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and BigBlueButton, which are provided by the GWDG as video conferencing services.

We have therefore decided to decommission the GWDG’s two H.323 gatekeepers, which are required by H.323 video conferencing systems to participate in the DFN-Conf service (https://www.conf.dfn.de/), as of March 31, 2025.

If you use an H.323 video conferencing system for video conferences via the DFN-Conf service, please register your video conferencing system with DFN-Verein’s H.323 gatekeeper free of charge. To do this, enter the name gk.vc.dfn.de or the IP address 194.95.240.4 of the DFN gatekeeper in the system configuration.
