What is an ALG?
ALG stands for Application Layer Gateway. An ALG is a device that handles translation of the packet IP addresses (and for Bandwidth.com VoIP service, the SIP IP information inside the packet) as they traverse the firewall. Bandwidth.com supports the use of the Ingate SIParator and Edgewater EdgeMarc ALGs. It is important to remember that ALG devices are designed to handle a specific number of concurrent calls. Be sure to purchase an ALG that fits your business needs. Bandwidth.com’s Account Executives can help you determine which ALG is right for you.
