UPnP

UPnP refers to a collection of internet protocols for computers and handheld devices to communicate Peer-to-Peer information over IP networks. The name is derived from the concept of Plug and Play technology, or plugging a device into a computer for immediate use, since the UPnP protocols attempt to provide the same sort of usefulness over networks by using automatic installation, zero configuration, and scanning or detection functions.

With the UPnP standards devices can enter and leave a network more cleanly, automatically create IP addresses when necessary, and use SSDP to discover and stream online media. A variety of connections support UPnP, including Ethernet, FireWire, Bluetooth, WiFi, and IR home wiring. The UPnP standards spread to cameras, scanner, air conditioning, and lighting, as well.
