Note:
Some applications, such as FTP, TFTP, PPTP, and H323, require the support
of special specific Application Level Gateway (ALG) modules to work inside the
local network. Data packets associated with the aforementioned 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
FiOS 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.
