UPnP
UPnP is a technology that enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications.
Your computer will use UPnP to communicate to the Thomson Gateway which services are running on the
computer.
For example, when you start a UPnP-enabled application on your computer, it will automatically creat the
necessary port mappings to this computer.
