for certain application layer “control/data” protocols: FTP, TFTP etc. Enabling ALG is
recommended.

PPTP Pass-through:
If enabled, it allows Point-to-Point sessions to be tunneled
through an IP network and passed through the router.
•

If enabled, it allows Layer 2 Point-to-Point sessions to be tunneled
through an IP network and passed through the router.
•
IPSec Pass-through:
If enabled, it allows IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) to
be tunneled through an IP network and passed through the router. IPSec uses
cryptographic security services to ensure private and secure communications over
IP networks.
•
FTP ALG:
If enabled, it allows FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients and servers to transfer
data via NAT.
•
TFTP ALG:
If enabled, it allows TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) clients and servers
to transfer data via NAT.
•
H323 ALG:
If enabled, it allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate via NAT.
•
RTSP ALG:
If selected, it allows media player clients to communicate with streaming
media servers via NAT.
•

If enabled, it allows clients communicate with SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
servers via NAT.
