Chapter 18 ALG
18.1.6.2 SIP Signaling Session Timeout
Most SIP clients have an "expire" mechanism indicating the lifetime of signaling sessions.
The SIP user agent sends registration packets to the SIP server periodically and keeps the
session alive in the ZyWALL.
If the SIP client does not have this mechanism and makes no calls during the ZyWALL SIP
timeout, the ZyWALL SIP ALG deletes the signaling session after the timeout period.
18.2 Peer-to-Peer Calls and the ZyWALL
The ZyWALL ALG can allow peer-to-peer VoIP calls for both H.323 and SIP. You must
configure the firewall and virtual server (port forwarding) to allow incoming (peer-to-peer)
calls from the WAN to a private IP address on the LAN (or DMZ).
18.2.1 VoIP Calls from the WAN with Multiple Outgoing Calls
When you configure the firewall and virtual server (port forwarding) to allow calls from the
WAN to a specific IP address on the LAN, you can also use policy routing to have H.323 (or
SIP) calls from other LAN or DMZ IP addresses go out through a different WAN IP address.
The policy routing lets the ZyWALL correctly forward the return traffic for the calls initiated
from the LAN IP addresses.
For example, you configure the firewall and virtual server to allow LAN IP address A to
receive calls from the Internet through WAN IP address 1. You also use a policy route to have
LAN IP address A make calls out through WAN IP address 1. Configure another policy route
to have H.323 (or SIP) calls from LAN IP addresses B and C go out through WAN IP address
2. Even though only LAN IP address A can receive incoming calls from the Internet, LAN IP
addresses B and C can still make calls out to the Internet.

18.2.2 VoIP with Multiple WAN IP Addresses
With multiple WAN IP addresses on the ZyWALL, you can configure different firewall and
virtual server (port forwarding) rules to allow incoming calls from each WAN IP address to go
to a specific IP address on the LAN (or DMZ). Use policy routing to have the H.323 (or SIP)
calls from each of those LAN or DMZ IP addresses go out through the same WAN IP address
that calls come in on. The policy routing lets the ZyWALL correctly forward the return traffic
for the calls initiated from the LAN IP addresses.
