1. A method, comprising:
- registering, by a gateway, a first end point with the gateway, wherein the gateway comprises a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy server associated with the first end point;
registering, by the gateway, a second end point with the gateway;
receiving, by the gateway, a request to initiate a communication session with a telephone number associated with the gateway;
determining, by the gateway and based on one or more configuration settings, whether data associated with the communication request is to be routed to the first end point or the second end point;
responsive to determining that the data associated with the communication request is to be routed to the first end point, routing, via the SIP proxy server and over a wireless local area network, the data associated with the communication session to the first end point; and
responsive to determining that the data associated with the communication request is to be routed to the second end point, routing, by the gateway and via a telecommunication protocol, the data associated with the communication session to the second end point.

Abstract
One or more endpoints may be registered with a gateway at a premises. The gateway may include local physical interfaces for communicating with a first subset of the endpoints. The gateway may further include Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy servers for communicating with a second subset of the endpoints. Incoming communications to the premises may be routed by the gateway to one or more of the endpoints via the local physical interfaces or the SIP proxy servers. One or more endpoints may initiate outgoing communications via the local physical interfaces or the SIP proxy servers.
