☞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 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.
