is used for call signaling and control, video/audio transport and control, and
bandwidth control . xPoint

NAT addressing, and to communicate/interact with either an MXM server or a
standard gatekeeper server, one of which you can choose to work with in order to
gain better performance and flexibility in point-to-point and multipoint
videoconferences.
