Talk:Application Layer Gateway
Undue edits
[edit]Recent edits commited are surprising and also disappointing. The new contents do not provide any definition of the term at all. They appear as ALGs are found predominantly on Windows. Windows specific details could have been added as a section to the existing article.

Application Layer Gateways can be used for any application not just SIP and do no need to be B2BUAs as described in article. This article thus requires much further work - Uiteoi May, 24 2006
- Agreed. ALG is much broader concept. It is defined in IETF RFC 2653, Section 2.9:
- Application Level Gateways (ALGs) are application specific translation agents that allow an application on a host in one address realm to connect to its counterpart running on a host in different realm transparently.
- We need to rewrite this article according to more general sense of ALG. — Anrie Nord 2006-06-03 13:08Z
- By the way, the correct term is Application Level Gateway. — Anrie Nord 2006-06-03 13:27Z
