name: IMS-ALG
full_form: IMS Application Level Gateway
context: The requirements for the IMS-ALG and IMS-AGW specified in TS 24.228 [11] apply without changes. NOTE: The IMS-ALG is invoked by the P-CSCF, IBCF, or ISC to handle the case when the remote endpoint lacks support of ICE. The IMS-ALG in turn inserts the IMS-AGW on the media path. Editorâs note: IMS-AGW may be inserted in other cases as well, e.g. for hosted NAT.
description: The IMS Application Level Gateway (IMS-ALG) is a network function that handles media path insertion of the IMS Access Gateway (IMS-AGW) when the remote endpoint lacks support of ICE. It is invoked by the P-CSCF, IBCF, or ISC and plays a crucial role in ensuring seamless communication.
explanation: The text describes IMS-ALG as a function that interacts with other network elements (P-CSCF, IBCF, ISC) to manage media paths. This interaction and specific task assignment clearly define it as a Network Function within the IMS architecture.
