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.
