An Application Level Gateway (ALG) based on an universal parser, in a data transmission network. This ALG enables all data flow of an application level protocol to be checked for concordance with the formal syntax description of the data transmission protocol, and with a security policy. The ALG contains a transmission controller, universal parser, and at least one parser plug-in for each universal parser. This parser plug-in is specific to the data transmission protocol, and can be automatically created from the formal syntax description of a data transmission protocol. A security policy (rules, restrictions) can be implemented in the parser plug-in and/or in the settings.
