 ===== 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. UPnP 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, the WhatsApp application has mapped certain ports on FreshTomato's WAN IP/Interface.

-UPnP is the original implementation of this dynamic port-mapping protocol. NAT-PMP (NAT 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.

 If you use dynamic port forwarding, you'll probably want to enable both protocols to maintain backward compatibility.
-===== Forwarded Ports =====
-This section contains a table displaying ports that are currently forwarded (with their external and internal port numbers).
-The **Internal Address** column displays the internal IP address of the network device that has triggered its own port mapping.
-The **Protocol** column displays which protocol (TCP or UDP) is in use for the mapping in question.

-The **Description** column lists the name of the application program which performed the port-mapping.
