9.9 UPnP Screen
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple
peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network,
obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about other devices on the network. A device
can then leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
See Section 9.9.1 on page 97 and Section 9.9.2 on page 99 for more information on UPnP.
