 Configure the following settings to register the mesh gateway as a service in Consul.
 
 * Specify `mesh-gateway` in the `kind` field to register the gateway with Consul.
-* Define the `Proxy.Config` settings using opaque parameters compatible with your proxy, i.e., Envoy. For Envoy, refer to the [Gateway Options](/docs/connect/proxies/envoy#gateway-options) and [Escape-hatch Overrides](/docs/connect/proxies/envoy#escape-hatch-overrides) documentation for additional configuration information.  
+* Configure the `proxy.upstreams` parameters to route traffic to the correct service, namespace, and datacenter. Refer to the [`upstreams` documentation](/docs/connect/registration/service-registration#upstream-configuration-reference) for details. The service `proxy.upstreams.destination_name` is always required. The `proxy.upstreams.datacenter` must be configured to enable cross-datacenter traffic. The `proxy.upstreams.destination_namespace` configuration is only necessary if the destination service is in a different namespace.

 * If ACLs are enabled, a token granting `service:write` for the gateway's service name and `service:read` for all services in the datacenter or partition must be added to the gateway's service definition. These permissions authorize the token to route communications for other Consul service mesh services, but does not allow decrypting any of their communications.

 Each upstream associated with a service mesh proxy can be configured so that it is routed through a mesh gateway.
