The Treck Universal Plug and Play network device implements a standardized Device Control Protocol (DCP) expressed in XML, which consists of a XML device description page (based on an Universal Plug and Play Forum device template standard), and also for each service that the device implements, a XML service description page (based on an Universal Plug and Play Forum service template standard). The network device also implements a web server that can serve up these XML description pages to the control point when requested.
