 ===== UPnP/NAT-PMP =====
-UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a controversial protocol that allows fully dynamic (automatic) port mapping from LAN IP addresses onto the Internet. IT has been criticized for its poor security. With this protocol, each program that uses the network maps its own ports automatically. In the screenshot below, WhatsApp has mapped certain ports on FreshTomato's WAN IP/Interface.

 UPnP is the original implementation of this dynamic port-mapping protocol. NAT-PMP (Port Mapping Protocol) is a newer, enhanced version of UPnP, designed for better compatibility with NAT routing. NAT-PMP is part of Apple's Bonjour protocol, and is often used for streaming iTunes and other media.
