Yes, as Labnuke99 said, it is IP all the way through. I would like to provide few more info on the same.

H.323 is one of the VoIP protocol which is based on packet-IP network. So, whatever packet comes it will be flowing through IP (internet).

H.323 uses additional protocols called H.225 and H.245. H.225 is used for call signaling i.e. initial call setup/ringing/connection (here in video conferencing – finding the neighbor contact and make a connection). Once the connection is done the H.245 control signal protocol shares the media details about the audio/video codec details and starts the video/voice flow using RTP (Real-Time transport protocol). So there is no need of any converters in between.

Thanks!!!
