 Internet Gateway Device - Port Control Protocol Interworking Function
                             (IGD-PCP IWF)

Abstract

   This document specifies the behavior of the Universal Plug and Play
   (UPnP) Internet Gateway Device - Port Control Protocol Interworking
   Function (IGD-PCP IWF).  A UPnP IGD-PCP IWF is required to be
   embedded in Customer Premises (CP) routers to allow for transparent
   NAT control in environments where a UPnP IGD is used on the LAN side
   and PCP is used on the external side of the CP router.

1.  Introduction

   The Port Control Protocol (PCP) specification [RFC6887] discusses the
   implementation of NAT control features that rely upon Carrier Grade
   NAT devices such as a Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite) Address Family
