Comment There goes my VC money... (Score 1) 91
I've spent two months working on a Business Plan on the same exact thing but with SLP instead of UPnP. Now I'm going to have to go see what this UPnP stuff is all about then rewrite parts of it.
Security isn't too big a deal, you just need to be careful how you go about it. I plan on using a good firewall(is there one???), NAT(Network Address Translation) and DHCP using 10.x.x.x IP addresses (the 10.x.x.x network is unroutable over the Internet). This makes it so that the devices on the network can't directly communicate to the 'net without the NAT server and nothing can speak directly to that device. Plus you only need 1 valid IP address to run the entire network.
Well, off to do more research for my Business Plan... And hope this doesn't scare off VC money.
Ps. Anyone want to float me $5 mill or so for my startup? :)
