Hi Robert, form a performance point of view you should proxy as little media as you have to. While proxying hopefully doesn't degrade your video quality, it limits the number of concurrent calls your GnuGk can handle. The one exception is if your network can handle QoS: When you use GnuGk to proxy in that case and let it add QoS markers, you might get improved video quality. I personally prefer to keep routing enabled for Q.931 (GKRouted) and H.245 (H245Routed) to have all information in one place when you need to debug things and to give GnuGk full control over all calls, but you'll get the highest scalability when you run GnuGk in direct mode.
