How do gateways register with a registrar?
In H.323, the entity can register to Gatekeeper as Terminal type or as Gateway type with a prefix. In SIP, the working group decided that registering PSTN prefixes is not the right approach, as it is insufficiently flexible and does not fit into the precise-match registration lookup mechanism. Rather, proxies make routing decisions based on local policy mechanisms, e.g., static tables, TRIP routing information, or SLP (with gateway registration template).
