Application Layer Gateway Service
Service Name: ALG

Executable Name: ALG.EXE

Log On As: LocalService

Description This subcomponent of the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) /
Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) service provides support for independent
software vendors (ISVs) to write protocol plug-ins that allow their
proprietary network protocols to pass through the firewall and work behind
ICS. Application Layer Gateway plug-ins have the power to open ports and
change data (such as ports and IP addresses) embedded in packets. File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the only network protocol that has a plug-in
shipping with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003
Enterprise Edition.

The service listens for outgoing FTP traffic from an FTP client. It extracts
the port that the FTP client is expecting to receive data from and creates an
appropriate dynamic port mapping for the FTP data channel

If this service is disabled, the Internet Connection Firewall and Internet
Connection Sharing service will not start. The ALG service will start when
set to manual if the Internet Connection Firewall and Internet Connection
Sharing service is started.
