Universal Plug and Play Forum

The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Forum is an organization that develops and promotes standards to enable devices on a home or business network—like printers, game consoles, and smart devices—to discover and communicate with each other seamlessly. Its goal is to simplify networking, allowing devices to automatically set up port forwarding and establish connections without user intervention. This makes it easier to share media, play online games, or connect security cameras, enhancing user convenience and device interoperability across a variety of networked gadgets.
