UPnP
UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked devices.
When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address,
convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS service
can also be used if available on the network. UPnP also allows supported devices to leave a network
automatically without adverse effects to the device or other devices on the network.
UPnP can be supported by diverse networking media including Ethernet, 802.11g wireless, Firewire, phoneline
and powerline networking.
