would register. However, because a PBX has multiple user agents, it needs to register a 
contact address on behalf of each of these. Rather than performing a separate registration 
procedure for each user agents, GIN registration mode does multiple registrations using a 
single REGISTER transaction. 
According to this mechanism, the PBX delivers to the service  provider in the Contact 
header field of a REGISTER request a template from which the service provider can 
construct contact URIs for each of the AORs assigned to the PBX and thus, can register 
these contact URIs within its location service. These registered contact URIs can then be 
used to deliver to the PBX inbound requests targeted at the AORs concerned. The 
mechanism can be used with AORs comprising SIP URIs based on global E.164 numbers 
and the service provider's domain name or sub-domain name.  
The SIP REGISTER request sent by the device for GIN registration with a SIP server 
provider contains the Require and Proxy-Require headers. These headers contain the 
token 'gin'. The Supported header contains the token 'path' and the URI in the Contact 
header contains the parameter 'bnc' without a user part: 
Contact: <sip:198.51.100.3;bnc>;
