Universal Plug and Play Internet Gateway Device - Port Control Protocol Interworking Function
RFC 6970, “Universal Plug and Play Internet Gateway Device - Port Control Protocol Interworking Function”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2013 by M. Boucadair, R. Penno, D. Wing. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the behavior of the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Internet Gateway Device - Port Control Protocol Interworking Function (IGD-PCP IWF). A UPnP IGD-PCP IWF is required to be embedded in Customer Premises (CP) routers to allow for transparent NAT control in environments where a UPnP IGD is used on the LAN side and PCP is used on the external side of the CP router.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
