draft-ietf-pcp-upnp-igd-interworking-10
Technical Summary
This document specifies the behavior of the UPnP IGD (Internet
Gateway Device)/PCP Interworking Function. A UPnP IGD-PCP
Interworking Function (IGD-PCP IWF) is required to be embedded in CP
(Customer Premises) routers to allow for transparent NAT control in
environments where UPnP IGD is used on the LAN side and PCP on the
external side of the CP router.
Working Group Summary
Nothing unusual.
Document Quality
A public implementation is available at

The authors are also aware of other implementations from some
CPE vendors that are not yet disclosed publically.
The PCP WG has a policy to not send a document until the WG
has consensus and there are at least 5 people who have reviewed
and ok'ed the document. Many others were involved in reviews
of earlier versions, but the WGLC oks came from:
