PacketCable Gates

Shouldn't I be seeing active packetcable gates when a eMTA is off hook or when a call is initiated? I see that we have multiple service flows configuring on the CM config (a set for data, and a set for NCS signaling). When a eMTA is picked up, I assume DQOS kicks in and builds the UGS service flows. I would assume CMS acts as policy enforcer to tell the CMTS/eMTA to build the UGS service flow. Am I wrong to assume that a packetcable gate should then be created? Is this because we have packetcable vanilla configured on the CMTS? Should I be concerned or is there a best practice not being followed?

Also, without having access to the CMS, is it possible to see if calls are getting tagged with session class/gate parameters. For instance during a emergency call shouldn't the CMS place a tag on the call for the CMTS to differentiate between 911 calls to toss in the "high priority calls".
