About UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer network protocols
promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The purpose of UPnP is to allow devices to
connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks at home and
in corporate environment. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP
device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based communication
standards.
The term UPnP is gleaned from Plug-and-play, a technology for dynamically
attaching devices to a computer directly.
