UPnP Client

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Client Implementation. Supports IGD control as well as DLNA media casting.

Covered

• Discovery — SSDP search over IPv4 and IPv6, returning typed device profiles
• DLNA casting — AVTransport playback, RenderingControl volume and mute, ConnectionManager format negotiation, and DIDL-Lite metadata
• IGD port forwarding — NAT port mapping on WANIPConnection / WANPPPConnection, plus external IP and WAN connection status

Not covered — eventing (GENA SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY), ContentDirectory browsing, and IPv6 pinholes. Services without a typed wrapper are still reachable through Service.invokeAction.
