7.4 UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is an open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer
network connectivity between networking devices or software applications which have UPnP enabled.
A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, advertise its services, and learn
about other devices on the network. A device can also leave a network automatically when it is no
longer in use.
