Note: Some applications, such as

FTP

TFTP

PPTP

and

323,

require the support of special specific Application Level Gateway
(

ALG

) modules to work inside the local network. Data packets

associated with these applications contain information that allows
them to be routed correctly. An

ALG

is needed to handle these

packets and ensure they reach their intended destinations. The
Router is equipped with a robust list of

ALG

modules, enabling

maximum functionality in the local network.

The

ALG

is automatically assigned based on the destination port.
