UDP
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, the set of network protocols
used for the Internet. With UDP, computer applications can send messages, sometimes known as datagrams, to other
hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior communications to set up special transmission
channels or data paths. UDP is sometimes called the Universal Datagram Protocol. UDP uses a simple transmission
model without implicit hand-shaking dialogues for guaranteeing reliability, ordering, or data integrity. Thus, UDP
provides an unreliable service and datagrams may arrive out of order, appear duplicated, or go missing without notice.
UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The goals of UPnP
are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing,
communications, and entertainment) and in corporate environments for simplified installation of computer components.
UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based
communication standards.
WINS server
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is Microsoft's implementation of NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS), a name
server and service for NetBIOS computer names. Effectively WINS is to NetBIOS names, what DNS is to domain
names — a central mapping of host names to network addresses. Like DNS it is broken into two parts, a Server
Service (that manages the encoded Jet Database, server to server replication, service requests, and conflicts) and a
TCP/IP Client component which manages the client's registration, renewal of names and takes care of queries.
