8.6.3 UPnP
By using the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol, a host in the LAN can ask
the router to perform specific port conversion, to enable an external host to access
resources on the internal host when necessary. For example, if MSN Messenger is
installed on Windows ME and Windows XP operating systems, UPnP can be used
for audio and video conversations. In this way, functions restricted by NAT can
work properly.
Choose

Advertisement Time To Live (in hops)
: The time for the broadcast to live. It
is the number of hops after each UPnP packet is sent. The number of hops is
the times that each packet can be broadcast before it vanishes. The value is
in the range of 1 to 255 hops and the default is 4 hops.
