<title>GUPnP</title>

    Many "consumer electronics" devices that can make use of a house's local

    network support device and service discovery via a protocol called UPnP

    (Universal Plug and Play).  GUPnP lets GNOME applications discover UPnP

    devices on the network, and publish services themselves.

    DLNA is a set of standards that let devices share multimedia content in

    standard formats.  GUPnP can also perform DLNA-related tasks such as media

    profile guessing, transcoding to a given profile, etc.

    In GNOME, GUPnP is one of the basic building blocks of home-multimedia

    software like Rygel, a home media server.
