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.
