- Disabling the SIP ALG in a VoIP profile SIP is enabled by default in a VoIP profile. If you are just using the VoIP profile for SCCP you can use the following command to disable SIP in the VoIP profile. Config voip profile edit VoIPPro2 config sip set status disable end. Huawei: The SIP ALG setting is usually found in the Security menu.

Our ability to independently source from global manufacturers, combined with our product development programme, has enabled SIP to develop a comprehensive product portfolio of both mineral and synthetically derived basestocks which meet our customers evolving requirements.
What is SIP ALG?SIP ALG stands for Application Layer Gateway and is common in all many commercial routers. Its purpose is to prevent some of the problems caused by router firewalls by inspecting VoIP traffic (packets) and if necessary modifying it.
Many routers have SIP ALG turned on by default.
There are various solutions for SIP clients behind NAT, some of them in the client side (STUN, TURN, ICE), others are in the server side (Proxy RTP as RtpProxy, MediaProxy).

Many routers have SIP ALG turned on by default.
There are various solutions for SIP clients behind NAT, some of them in the client side (STUN, TURN, ICE), others are in the server side (Proxy RTP as RtpProxy, MediaProxy).
Generally speaking, ALG works typically in the client side LAN router or gateway. In some scenarios, some client-side solutions are not valid, for example, STUN with symmetrical NAT router. If the SIP proxy doesn't provide a server-side NAT solution, then an ALG solution could have a place.
An ALG understands the protocol used by the specific applications that it supports (in this case SIP) and does a protocol packet-inspection of traffic through it. A NAT router with a built-in SIP ALG can re-write information within the SIP messages (SIP headers and SDP body) making signalling and audio traffic between the client behind NAT and the SIP endpoint possible.
How can it affect VoIP?Even though SIP ALG is intended to assist users who have phones on private IP addresses (Class C 192.168.X.X), in many cases it is implemented poorly and actually causes more problems than it solves. SIP ALG modifies SIP packets in unexpected ways, corrupting them and making them unreadable. This can give you unexpected behaviour, such as phones not registering and incoming calls failing.
Therefore if you are experiencing problems we recommend that you check your router settings and turn SIP ALG off if it is enabled.

- Lack of incoming calls: When a UA is switched on it sends a REGISTER request to the proxy in order to be localisable and receive any incoming calls. This REGISTER is modified by the ALG feature (if not the user wouldn't be reachable by the proxy since it indicated a private IP in REGISTER 'Contact' header). Common routers just maintain the UDP 'connection' open for a while (30-60 seconds) so after that time the port forwarding is ended and incoming packets are discarded by the router. Many SIP proxies maintain the UDP keepalive by sending OPTIONS or NOTIFY messages to the UA, but they just do it when the UA has been detected as NAT'd during the registration. A SIP ALG router rewrites the REGISTER request to the proxy doesn't detect the NAT and doesn't maintain the keepalive (so incoming calls will be not possible).
- Breaking SIP signalling: Many of the actual common routers with inbuilt SIP ALG modify SIP headers and the SDP body incorrectly, breaking SIP and making communication just impossible. Some of them do a whole replacing by searching a private address in all SIP headers and body and replacing them with the router public mapped address (for example, replacing the private address if it appears in 'Call-ID' header, which makes no sense at all). Many SIP ALG routers corrupt the SIP message when writing into it (i.e. missed semi-colon ';' in header parameters). Writing incorrect port values greater than 65536 is also common in many of these routers.
- Disallows server-side solutions: Even if you don't need a client-side NAT solution (your SIP proxy gives you a server NAT solution), if your router has SIP ALG enabled that breaks SIP signalling, it will make communication with your proxy impossible.

- Enable TLS on SIP Endpoints, VoiceHost supports TLS which masks SIP signalling from the prying eyes of ALG functionality.
- Enable IPv6 on SIP Endpoints. Practically this is not a realistic option for users requiring mobility but for static locations, this does remove the requirement (Must be supported by your ISP). Most Internet providers do not fully support pure IPv6
- Change you Router Obviously a last resort if all else fails.

Most home/residential routers have a web interface. Typically this is 192.168.1.1 but you just check your default gateway by typing ipconfig in Windows command prompt or ifconfig on Linux systems from any connected device on the same LAN.
If your router does not have a web interface you will most likely need a Telnet client to login.
If you don't have a telnet client installed we recommend Smartty (smartty.sysprogs.com)
Connect in telnet to the IPv4 address of your gateway and hit enter again.
