Overview and Scope

This service definition is compliant with the UPnP Device Architecture version 1.0.

This service-type enables a UPnP control point to configure and control IP connections on the WAN interface of a UPnP compliant InternetGatewayDevice*. Any type of WAN interface (e.g., DSL or Cable) that can support a IP connection can use this service.

The service is REQUIRED if an IP connection is used for WAN access, and is specified in

urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:WANConnectionDevice

one or more instances of which are specified under the device

urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:WANDevice

An instance of WANDevice is specified under the root device

urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:InternetGatewayDevice

All IP Internet connections are set up from a WAN interface of the InternetGatewayDevice or bridged through the gateway to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). WANDevice is a container for all UPnP services associated with a physical WAN device. It is assumed that clients are connected to InternetGatewayDevice via a LAN (IP-based network).

An instance of a WANIPConnection service is activated (refer to SST below) for each actual Internet Connection instance on a WANConnectionDevice. WANIPConnection service provides IP-level connectivity with an ISP for networked clients on the LAN.
