I very much like the approach in principle, though. Digging briefly into |
| 5 |
Wikipedia[1], UPnP has several components: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
* AutoIP (IPv4LL) |
| 8 |
* SSDP (So, a separate "ssdp" USE flag may not be necessary) |
| 9 |
* SOAP (If I read this correctly, this is the encoding of its RPC |
| 10 |
mechanism) |
| 11 |
* GENA (A pub/sup architecture) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
(For those that read the link, I'm obviously leaving out the |
| 14 |
'Description' section...I don't know what that would be called, really.) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I don't know enough about real-world use of UPnP to say which of these |
| 17 |
components are most fruitfully separated out of UPnP, USE-wise. If I had |
| 18 |
to guess, I'd probably suggest: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
* Break out SSDP and AutoIP, |
| 21 |
* Have UPnP imply SOAP and GENA |
| 22 |
* Have UPnP depend on the enabling of SSDP and AutoIP. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Or tie all of it into a single USE flag and be left with 'upnp' and 'ssdp'. |
