An application-level gateway ( ALG, also known as application layer gateway, application gateway, application proxy, or application-level proxy) is a security component that augments a firewall or NAT employed in a mobile network. [1] [2] It allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port ...
Network address translation ( NAT) is a method of mapping an IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the IP header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. [1] The technique was originally used to bypass the need to assign a new address to every host when a network was moved, or ...
The Session Initiation Protocol ( SIP) is a signaling protocol used for initiating, maintaining, and terminating communication sessions that include voice, video and messaging applications. [1] SIP is used in Internet telephony, in private IP telephone systems, as well as mobile phone calling over LTE ( VoLTE ). [2]
NAT traversal. Network address translation traversal is a computer networking technique of establishing and maintaining Internet Protocol connections across gateways that implement network address translation (NAT). NAT traversal techniques are required for many network applications, such as peer-to-peer file sharing and voice over IP. [1]
Session border controller. A session border controller ( SBC) is a network element deployed to protect SIP based voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks. Early deployments of SBCs were focused on the borders between two service provider networks in a peering environment. This role has now expanded to include significant deployments between ...
H.323. H.323 is a recommendation from the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) that defines the protocols to provide audio-visual communication sessions on any packet network. [1] The H.323 standard addresses call signaling and control, multimedia transport and control, and bandwidth control for point-to-point and multi-point ...
The Session Initiation Protocol ( SIP) is the signaling protocol selected by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) [1] [2] to create and control multimedia sessions with multiple participants in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). It is therefore a key element in the IMS framework. SIP was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force ...
Peer-to-peer SIP ( P2P-SIP) is an implementation of a distributed voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or instant messaging communications application using a peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture in which session control between communication end points is facilitated with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
