SIP ALG
(Session Initiation Protocol Application-Level Gateway) A function in a router that allows VoIP packets to traverse the network's firewall. Because Internet-based telephony emerged so quickly, the SIP ALG function was often enabled by default in many consumer-based wireless routers. Because various implementations caused problems, the ALG setting later defaulted to "disabled." See SIP, SIP proxy and STUN.Turn It Off in the Router Control Panel |
