UPNPInit

Initializes UPNP (universal plug and play) network broadcast.

Remarks

UPNP is internally used by devP2P to locate possible routers on the network, and use them to open external routing ports. If such routers are found, then each instance of devP2P will be able to allocate and bind router's port for direct P2P connections with remote peers. devP2P will then use UPNP protocol as needed to open/close such ports.
